Unbelievable binoculars for sale in Liddle this week. £15 for an absolutely fantastic pair of Tronic 8 x 24 x 50. I have a pair of USSR Zeis (8 x 30's -which are ideal for birding) I happened upon these just now while shopping and they didn't seem too plackie so I thought I'd try them. (If kids can pay £15 for a CD that takes about as much effort to produce as a plastic bottle....) Anyway when I got them home I found they were the next generation of goggles every bit as clear as my old pair. Do yourselves a favour and run right round to your local Liddle supermarket and snatch a few sets for yourselves and your friends. Are they really that good? (I was a little suspicious considering the quality of telescopes they had a little while ago...) Lidl is 2 mins away from me so I may pay a visit! |

Go now before they sell out. They are excellent. Fairly light, 8 x 24 with a 50 MV Zoom and a rubber skin for warm handling in the cold. There is a pair of rubber eye pieces too, for people who wear glasses. The case is a work of art and there is a tripod mount. A great improvement in design & features on my otherwise still excellent old ones. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
