FOR SALE...a brand new pair of binoculars that I have very recently purchased as a present for my girlfriend who doesn't really want them as she prefers my smaller Opticrons. They are brand new, still boxed and come with all the accessories, etc. They are not ex-demo or anything like that, they are immaculate.
They are Celestron Granite 10x50 Jumelle binoculars, and you can see the full spec and reviews for yourself on Celestron's own website. They are absolutely top notch binoculars and I actually have a pair myself that I use for bird watching, for which they are ideal.
They are worth £559.00 but I am now willing to accept £300.00 for them for a quick sale. I am based in north Manchester near to the M60 motorway.
If interested, please contact Adrian on 07974 180000 or P/M me or email adyw60@yahoo.co.uk (this is a private sale and I am not a business).
I have taken several photographs of them which I can send, if required.
Here are a few comments about these binoculars from Celestron's own website:-
The Granite Series are the finest binoculars Celestron has ever offered.
Celestron Granite Series Binoculars are the pinnacle of optical and mechanical design.
They stand up well against the much more expensive European and higher end Japanese manufactured binoculars at a fraction of their cost a real value.
They feature ED glass (low dispersion) in the optical design and they deliver edge-to-edge sharpness with excellent colour correction & razor sharp images while virtually eliminating chromatic aberration, field curvature, and distortion.
The Granite series uses a state-of-the-art modern open frame/hinge style which provides an excellent grip and is comfortable to handle (even single handed) with the reduced weight.
The body is made of magnesium which is much lighter than aluminium but it is more rugged and tough for handling in any environment.
Perfect for:
Hunting Bird Watching Sporting Events Wildlife and Nature Viewing Travel and Outdoors Astronomical Viewing
Features:
Fully Broadband Multi-Coatings provide maximum throughput light transmission with the highest levels of contrast. They provide superb natural colour fidelity and vivid colour saturation.
BaK-4 Prisms with Dielectric High Reflectivity Coatings & Phase Coated the high grade prisms allow for sharp images and with the high reflectivity coatings help increase the throughput transmission to provide the brightest possible images. The phase coatings correct out of phase shifts of light rays to ensure maximum contrast.

BEDROCK OF THE SERIOUS OBSERVERS TOOLKIT
Celestron Granite ED Series Roof Prism Binoculars represent the core values of rock solid binocular design, ultra-high performance glass and reliable construction at an affordable price. The ED lenses ensure that each wavelength of light is kept in balance with all the others to provide an image which is true-to-life. They are also useful in lowlight situations helping you to pick out details in subjects in dense brush even at dawn and dusk. They stand up well against the much more expensive European and higher end Japanese manufactured binoculars at a fraction of their cost - a real value!
EXTRA LOW DISPERSION GLASS
Granite Binoculars feature ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness with excellent colour correction and razor sharp images while virtually eliminating chromatic aberration. Coupled with fully broadband multi-coatings the optical design delivers crisp, high contrast images with accurate colour reproduction for unrivalled image quality superior to standard optical glass.
FULLY MULTI-COATED OPTICS AND BAK-4 PRISMS
The Phase Coated Prisms correct out-of-phase shifts of light rays to ensure maximum contrast while providing superb natural colour fidelity and vivid colour saturation. High grade BaK-4 prism glass renders sharp images and the reflectivity coatings increases the throughput transmission to provide bright images that are rich in detail.
LIGHTWEIGHT, WATERPROOF CONSTRUCTION
State-of-the-art modern open frame style provides an excellent grip and is comfortable to handle (even single handed) with the reduced weight. The body is made of magnesium alloy which is lighter than aluminium, and more rugged and tough for handling in any environment. They are a mid-sized binocular, perfect for travel because of their weight and small form factor yet are packed with features that match up well optically, mechanically and ergonomically with binoculars costing two to five times as much.
Metal Twist Up Eyecups: More durable and a longer life than plastic eyecups. Less susceptible to breaking. Twist-up eyecup for correct positioning of the users eyes for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses.
Waterproof construction provides peace of mind when unexpected weather rolls in. The housing is also filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the internal lenses from fogging when moving between extreme temperatures or when using the binocular in damp conditions.
