Hi all,

i`m current looking for a bino / scope.
scope will be secondary but prefer to get a bino of range 7x50 to 10x50 would be fine.
dun mind any second hands,pls quote mi prices.

scope wise i`ll be more interested in cassigrain type, haivng used it for a long long time...
definately dun mind second hands for this too.

I think he'll be pretty disappointed with the small aperture.

Wait awhile, good deals on great scopes do pop up.

hey jermng i think you know me well!
i have to admit i do not have plently of gold to throw but am just holding out for something that`ll catch my eye

big aperture is a hit with me but of course i am always weighted down but the problem of transporting it along with me.

Thanks for the publicity, wee ngee !

iori86 : You need to balance aperture with portability though. My 66 is very portable and if you are into birding, it would be great too. I was thinking of Samuel Ng but he already has the Pronto although the pronto is slightly bigger in aperture and much bigger ota too.

A Celestron Oceana series is quite decent, at its price. Should be around $200.

I'm ordering some stuffs from Grandeye HK, you may want to check at the website, the 10*42 (N2 filled/waterproof) is @ HK$580 or 10*60 @ HK$340 + shipment + GST should be around S$150/- and S$100/- respectively. If you are interested, I can help you to order.
