FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] Buying binoculars in Cincinnati or Lexington

["Craig Carver" <ccarver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know of a good store in the Cincinnati or Lexington area for 
sampling and buying high-end birding binoculars?  Also, what do you recommend?  
I'm leaning toward the Nikon Premier LX 8x42 or 10x42 but they're heavy.  The 
Swarovski versions are lighter and mighty fine, but quite pricey.  Are they 
worth it?  Any other suggestions of bins with long eye relief?
You can reply directly to me at ccarver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

Thanks,

Craig
