WTS : svbony sa203 binoculars 12x50 roof $94

Retracted item from sale after few months no buyer , using it myself.
Will leave the photos and information intact for future newbie to make better choice.

Tips for buying under $100 bino is the factory image must not have photoshopped bright green coating that looks uniform like sheet of paper.
When buying second-hand ask for photo of the lens to exclude old neglected items that have a layer of fungus.
Don't buy Zoom binocular as the extra moving mechanism isn't as robust , harder to mechanically align 2 tubes onto the same pinpoint target at higher magnification and zooms inherently have more narrow viewing angle.

Item is nearly brand new , only open to test 20minutes tripod 10minutes handheld.
Collimation OK got 3D effect no giddy feeling after using. Store in drybox with rechargeable silica gel.

There are a few youtube reviews by South Korean and Russian, select CC subtitles auto-translate English.
