Oh man! We had a pair of those guys sitting in our used binocular case for years when I was working at Reed's! Had I known it was a Pentax, I could've saved them from the snooty, cheapass old lady who bought them for $50 as opera glasses. :-( John Celio -- http://www.neovenator.com AIM: Neopifex "Hey, I'm an artist.
