Little used, well taken care of. $600.00 shipped. Functionally just like new. A NIB set on the Internet is going for $899.00. No scratches, etc. on lenses that I can see. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa451/CKW44/IMG_0009.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa451/CKW44/IMG_0010.jpg) Bought new about 2001 or 2002. To me the focus knob has always felt a little sloppy even new just out of the box. I bought a set of Nikon 8X32 SE binos at the same time and prefer to use them while the Zeiss sat in a cabinet. The view through the Zeiss is excellent and very comparable to the SEs but I prefer the ergonomics of the SEs.

Might be the best bino Zeiss ever made. Close. . . #2. Their best is 8x30 B/GA IF, originally developed for the Bundeswehr in 1964 (and continuously upgraded as technology allowed), and sold with one break through today. I don't believe anyone would contradict me when I write this binocular, with rangefinder reticle and umbral lenses, is the most overdesigned and egregiously expensive military binocular ever conceived.
