Dan-- There's been a fair amount of discussion of various Garrett binoculars on the Cloudy Nights forum. Here's the address: http://www.cloudynights.com/photopost/showgallery.php?thumb=1&cat=528&si=gar ret&perpage=20&sort=7&stype=&ppuser= Travis Whitlow -----Original Message----- From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dan Heim Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 8:58 AM To: AZ Observing Subject: [AZ-Observing] Garrett binocs? Decided to sell my old binocs (Spectrum 10x80) and upgrade to some "big" binocs. I checked out the two big names, Fujinon and Oberwerk, first of course. Damn, those brands are expensive. I'm looking for 100 mm with 45 degree oculars and 1.25" eyepiece holders. Then I stumbled across another brand I'd never heard of: Garrett. They offer exactly what I'm looking for at about half the price of the equivalent Fujinon or Oberwerk. Here's the link: https://www.astronomybinoculars.com/Garrett_100mm_Binocular_Telescope_p/gt10 0-45.htm Does anyone have any experience with this Garrett brand? There wasn't much in the way of reviews that I could find. But they do appear to be American made, in Tulsa OK.
