Looks like a good value! I really like that the tripod adapter is included. Thats a great feature! And if YOUR pleased with the optics then I am sure they are top flight! I guess I'll have to go back to work so I can get me one!
Thanks Roland! :S

Roland,

you should announce the offer to the waiting lists, I have just came across the announcement here by a chance.
A big question for me - how far does the focusing mechanism allow for compensation of shortsightedness ?
With my ca. -6.5D both eyes, I run out of focusing on most binoculars on the market. Not having any astigmatism, I would prefer to observe w/o glasses.
Thanks.

Just the idea that I could order an optical device from AP left me stunned. 8O I called to order one and wound up ordering one of each.

I'll post my feelings once they arrive. Should be by mid week. I know there made by someone else, but still... I think I saw snow this morning in Phoenix.

I notice that Anacortes has the 15x70s listed as "call or e-mail for availability." Hmmm.

I am glad mine are on their way.

Clear skies, Alan

Roland,

Could you possibly tell me how these might compare to the Celestron Ultima (japan version)9x63? I find the Ultima's to be very good, but there's a slight amount of flaring towards the edge. What differences might I see with yours?

Finally! something that has Astro-physics printed on it that I can afford.... LOL. smile
