This item was purchased new several years ago. It has been used outdoors, so there is a feeling of use, but there are no problems with the optics. It's an 8x30 type, so it's a good size for bird watching, travel, etc. This is a used item, so I would appreciate it if those who are overly concerned about condition would refrain from purchasing. All sales are final, with no returns accepted. Shipping is included in the price.
