Does anyone know where to get the "official" specs on the Swift 8x42
HHS 828 bino? I like to bird in cold weather so I'm concerned about
fogging. Eagle Optics says the 828 is Waterproof/Nitrogen purged, but
Optics4birding says otherwise - they say its only "showerproof" and

I have the little guy in an ice chest (no ice) and he can not fly! My wife

house finches and sparrows, when a striking looking bird appeared that I had
never seen before. It hung around long enough for me to have a good look
with the binoculars and even snap a digital photo. The "Western N... (Read More)
