Title: Problem on puchasing binoculars!
Post by gladfky on Oct 20^th, 2003, 11:39am

Dear all,
Hi! I am a new birdwatcher. I want to buy a binocular
(the model is Olympus 10x42 EXUP) I wonder if any experience birder can tell me the price and where I can buy it. (I check the price in a famous MONG KOK camera shop and they told me the price is $1980. Is is too expensive? Can anyone tell me any reliable camera shop name? Many thanks.

Yin
