12x56 Zeiss Binoculars

Hi Group,

Does anyone know of a retail store that sells Zeiss Victory IIs around
Bristol UK ?

Many places will order them in, but no one seems to have them in stock & I
would like to try before I buy - anyone know these Binoculars / or tried
them out ?

Ciao,
Roland

Have you tried Ace at Bath. They are a very helpful/patient bunch of
people. Phone No. 01225 466364.

they can order them in
but i wanted to try a pair out
is it possible to use them hand-held or is there too much "shake" ?

The answer is so subjective that only handling them in person will ever
give you a satisfactory answer. Top end binoculars with nearly identical
specs on paper but some will feel more balanced to one individual and
less to another. Only you can know how they feel in your hands.

You really need to try them out before buying.

I tend to prefer slightly lower magnification than 12x YMMV.
