    age 7, I think.

    Apparently back in the old days, when you wanted to crop a photo, you took out your scissors and cut it, because this is exactly how I found this one. Can you believe people actually dressed their kids like this? Wow, am I a dork.

    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...u=63633&is=USA

    those HUGE terrestrial binos are not good for birding. my close focus needs to be under 15 feet and most big binos are 25 ft+

    i buy top quality gear with a life time idiot proof warranty when ever i can....... i'm an idiot at times

    btw... don't think i paid the inflated prices that B&H charge.... $745 for my leica 10x50BN's in NYC too hotbuyselectronics dot com shhhhh they are tough to deal with though!! typical "only have the kit which is MORE" line, but they come one way......KIT!!!!!!!
