Thanks Charles.   Is the 25%off,  the price in red on the website, or is it another %25 off of that red price?

sorry for the late reply.  Have been away for a few days. 

I would recommend 8x42 for general birding use. It has wider FOV and more stable image when holding the binoculars in your hands.

I ordered the 10x42's !  Can't wait to get them.  I'll be looking forward to using these while Mulie/Elk hunting over on the east side (Oregon) this year, and on the west side of WA. as well.

Zen-Ray is a fine sponsor and very active with civic responsibility. They step up to the plate when they're needed. These are excellent binos and if you need some, support these guys by cashing in on this deal.

They are made in China.  My ed2's have great glass.  I really like these binocs and would love to get the prime HD, but they are out of my price range.

Thanks roberts,
I did ordered the Prime 10-42 just now.  I be putting them to the test, and if they meet expectations I may sell them in my Pro Shop.  I've been looking for a long time and was so close to pull the trigger on a pair of home made Swarovski, just a little bit to spendy for my use.  Hope I like them!

Nope, I tired and tried and they say they give a crap that we were neighbors,  :chuckle: :chuckle:  Through fam at home it was not any cheaper to buy them than here  :dunno:  If I buy them I want the EL 10x42 and the least expensive I found was $2800.

This is my dad's first Zen Ray bino, he is very impress by it.  The build quality is excellent, the image is sharp, and one of the best customer service.

I think what they have shipped before was the limited numbers first production run.  As far as I know the next bigger production run will ship on July 5, provided the July 4 Holiday doesn't slow arrival from the factory.

I have a final beta specimen of the Prime 10x42.  It's gonna be worth the wait I think.   Razor sharp with as nice a focus action as any binocular I have used.  Built like a tank too.

I sure hope, I thought they had them and were ready to be shipped, I guess I was wrong.  I ordered the 10x42 Prime, gutsy, because I never held one, seen one and after three weeks of researching I decided to go with Zen-Ray.   :dunno:
