Many of you know I have a passion about Binoculars and I have aquired a pair of these which are quite wonderful binoculars for the Money.

 

I have a pair already and recommended these to a friend who is now emigrating and has had these for just over 12 months and used them probably 3 times. Hes the most honest bloke I know so I have no reason to disbelieve him.

 

Take my word these are great bins for all round use I have a pair which I never put down and other binoculars 3 times the price dont come close.

 

I paid him £185 for these which currently retail at about £290 and I am prepared to pass them on to a pw member at the same price £185 posted.

 

If you buy and are not happy you have my word ill take them back immediately as I know I could sell them at one of my Birding meetings

 

They are in excellent condition and come with soft case, cover and neck strap. There is no guarantee but mine have had some serious use in the last two years and are still perfect. Swift customer service is very good.

Cheers.

The Swift Audubon 828HHS is the first roof prism to equal the quality of the original 8.5 x 44 Audubon, offering the same BaK4 prisms, high quality lenses, fully multi-coated lenses and phase-coatings. This light weight, compact binocular is nitrogen purged and fully waterproof. Its rubber armour gives this binocular an attractive look and allows for a comfortable grip, while the twist-up eyecups lock in the up position to prevent drifting and are more durable than standard rubber eyecups. The 828HHS offers longer eye relief at 19mm, giving eye glass wearers a better view and a minimum focusing distance of under 9 feet (3m); getting you closer to birds and butterflies. A New Feature added to the 828HHS is the centre focus diopter ring. Located on the top of the focusing **** is a pop-up diopter ring. This design allows for a more convenient and more precise focus and locks to prevent the diopter from shifting.

 

The 828HHS is the last binocular Humphrey H. Swift, longtime president of SWIFT OPTICS, personally worked on before his death. In honour of his love for birding and dedication to SWIFT, these binoculars are foundly called the HHS in his memory.

Flash, you will be MEGA happy with these, even at the new price they are a bargain. At this price they are a steal.

Not nicked are they Mike? Only kidding.

 

I have the same model. Never mind sending them to Mike, if you aren't happy send them to me! I'll have them as a second pair, easily comparable to top Swarovski, you lucky lad!

 

Damn, I wish sometimes I was unemployed, then I would have seen this thread sooner!

 

Enjoy
