AFAIK, these are no longer made by Celestron. I bought a pair of these some time back in the late 90's(?) and paid about $180.00. I'm pretty sure they are Japanese made. The Ultima series were fairly lightweight for their size, IIRC.
Does Celestron still make a comparable binocular under another name? Does Orion sell something along the same lines as the Ultima?
The 7x42 seems to have very good eye relief. Does anyone know what it is? I use these at rocket launches for tracking rockets, and they work well with the eyecups folded down with my glasses.
