    Zenith 20x50 --Wow!

    A bit of info needed......

They had neither case nor caps yet seemed brand new, unmarked and still as stiff as if they had just come out of the box.The visual performance is startling -...

    Morning All!

    Morning all - I've been birding on and off for more years than I care to count and decided it was time to share a few experiences in what can be a solitary passtime. Looking forward to talking to you in the future. Cholo.
