    Phil-
    Brooklyn is always a red flag for me. It doesn't mean they're bad. But in my experience, there are an awful lot of less-than-honest electronics businesses in Brooklyn. I'd rather pay a little more for piece of mind.

    I bought binos from them TWICE a few years ago. The first pair I ordered I got the "we only have the kit" phone call and that raised the price to what others charged ;) I said "send me the non kit " ... NEVER GOT BILLED OR SHIPPED IN 6 MONTHS.

    A year later I ordered a sweet pair of Leica 10x50BN's (retail $1200 at the time) for $745. the "kit call came and I order it for $790. Now understand... the "KIT" is the only way they come ;)

    Personally, I wouldn't buy a camera or lens there myself, so steer clear of the shady practices of the grey market dealers they are ;)
