    O cutie portabila este inclusa in pret (imaginea aici). Desi nu scrie explicit de cutie pt toate celelalte tipuri, presupun ca este inclusa (ar trebui vazut exact pe site/intrebat, de asemenea si de snurul = "neck strap" cu care se agata dupa gat - foarte recomandabile ambele!!).

    Doua imagini ale binoclului aici: Steve20x80.jpg sau Steve15x70-20x80.jpg (ultimul comparativ cu modelul 15x70).

    Nu cunosc exact la ce se refera "waterproof" (hidrofor in romaneste) si care ii sunt avantajele practice.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • 25x100 mm Waterproof Observation Binoculars
    570Can$/360$US incl posta pana in Canada sau US

    Special Features: Waterproof
    Magnification: 25x
    Objective lens 100mm
    Focus System : Individual

    Cf. Canada Post, probabil posta pana in Romania cu vaporul ar costa cam 100$Can. Desi mai scump, am inclus si acest model pt marimea sa impresionanta: la 25x100mm cu FOV 3 grade acest model este posibil de folosit la cautat/descoperit de comete, cu conditia unui cer intunecat si a unui trepied. Desi mai putin accesibil amatorilor romani, ar putea fi achizitionat insa de cluburi sau mai multi individuali.

    Alte informatii din doua mesaje schimbate cu Steve (3 apr 2003):

    - "The binoculars are manufactured in Chinaa and is the same factory that manufacturers Bushnel and other prominent makes."

    - Toate modelele NU includ L-adaptor (o barra in forma de L prevazuta cu un surub care intra in binoclu si o piulita care intra in trepied) - o imagine aici. Un L-adaptor la el costa aditional 20$Can/15$US (desi cred ca s-ar putea confectiona destul de usor, eventual la strung).
