binoculars

Anyone know anything about/know anyone who knows anything about binoculars? I'm in need of a pair, and want to check it out on eBay with the hopes of finding a gem that's not too expensive.

Does it bother you that it's called a pair of binoculars? I understand it, but it bothers me.

Kensington is definitely his 'hood. I wonder how he ended up by the Canal the other day. That's far from the homeland.
