Binoculars news from China
There are lots of mediocre quality binoculars coming from China
and swapping the online auctions with ruby-coated plastic crap.
However, with open eyes and some patience, it is possible to detect
more. In this section I want to present samples that I have found here
in China and which perform either far beyond the average or,
at least, exhibit some interesting features.
