Hi there

I am a beginner as well... I have a 4 days old BINO..

Ascot ZR10x50WP(W) Center-Focusing bought for $230 with receipt as proof. from Macgill Commerical house. (just got it last week / used like 4-5 hours only)


Spec:

u 15? u sure you want to buy mail-order?

There are risk involve in mail ordering OPTICAL devices, it can comes in broken or miss-aligment and the cost or returning is always too high.

If you interested in my BINO, sms or email me: I am letting it go for $190.

Personally I thought the Minolta Activa series is best bang for buck but unfortunately they are no longer in production and I am not selling mine away. Too many years in the dry box and the rubber has turned a little white!
How about checking with joobeng from astrobargains once he is back in Singapore?
