Then, in 1997 or 98 Gus bought me a pair of Bushnell 7-15x35 bins for my birthday. They were the best gift he ever gave me! I still have them but they dropped on a stone hearth in 2004 and broke the zoom feature so I now have double vision! I keep wanting to get them fixed. Since then I have had 2 new pairs of bins. I keep working my way up. I have another pair of Bushnells and my latest-the Vortex Diamondbacks 8x42. All allow me to view the birds I so love. A toast to Binoculars and the person who invented them!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-23825549760066643402008-05-13T17:59:00.000-05:002008-05-13T17:59:00.000-05:00Jayne-I don't actually have them any more but I'm ...Jayne-I don't actually have them any more but I'm tying to locate them now.

They've been a total boon. I think everyone should have good binocs.<BR/>Sorry I've been AWOL, btw.
