..................I have narrowed my field of selection to: 1 brand of
spotting scope, and 3 brands of binoculars.These final considerations
are all *top* quality-----with a* top* price to match!!!!!!!
(-: These final selections were chosen after hours and hours of
perusing many web sites for evaluations by people, and comparing prices
from a number of internet shopping sites. (I'm tired!!!!!!!
)-: )
..................Now....all I have to figure out is *where* the bucks
are going to come from!!!! (*who* will not get paid for the next few
months!!!!! (-: ) Winning the Lotto would help......( ha, ha,
ha!!!!)
..................Anyway....I found that AAAbinocular.com has by far the
lowest prices, even lower than Eagle Optics. ( you would be surprised as
to 'how much').
..................I still will get back to all, (when my bino. selection
is narrowed down to *1*) who e-mailed me and other higher quality
possibilities to those who requested my impute.
..................And I haven't even looked into tripods yet---to replace
my cheap and and probably too lightweight for the job (fine for a
camera, but noticeably *lacking* for a heavier spotting scope). I will
need suggestions on tripods also( one thing encourging-----tripods don't
"empty the wallet" so dramatically as do binos. and 'scopes.).
..................Good bye for now as my bleary eyes 'scream' at me for
mercy!!!) (-:
