That's $3280 Oz then 10% gst on top thru customs, so not much left in it. The best price I have seen here in Oz is $3500. Have you seen them cheaper BH?

For straight binos, consider the new Zeiss HD Conquest. I imported a pair for my sons mate. New with all documentation off eBay US. Cost to my door step was $NZ1140. I have a US mailing address (www.shipito.com), I got free ground shipping to it in Torrance CA, then arranged my my own shipping (and customs declaration ) to NZ.
According to the boys the colours are 'richer' with the Zeiss's when compared to Sons Swarovski 8x 30 SLC's, which are a little 'brighter' than the Zeiss's.

I haven't seen the HD-B's at all yet, only read about them and looked up the price as was interested in them.

I've had my hands on some HD-B's and the glass leaves the HD's for dead. Have not had time to compare last light and ranging yet but they were giving readings at 1200yds looking into the setting sun with no trouble
