I know these will cost a lot of money, which is why I don't want to make a mistake. I think I will just have to ask folks for a glimpse through their binoculars. I dislike intruding on people, but I will dislike wasting big money even more. In the meantime, my Swift Audubons will do the trick. maryanne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Church" To: Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Testing Binoculars > I went on a birding trip to Costa Rica with a pair of moderate priced "okay" > binoculars .
