This is the new model Opticron Aurora 8x42 Binocular, which was just introduced about a month ago, and many dealers don't even have them in stock yet. They are much improved over the older model, with a silky-smooth focuser and much nicer-looking, feeling armor. Here are some details on them. Free shipping to CONUS.
