tapper, I got them from Amazon. I researched binoculars carefully and these were my choice. The warranty really sold me. I love companies who put their customers first. I had it narrowed down to a pair of Nikons and these. It gives me peace of mind to know that if anything happens to them, the company will replace or repair them. This is especially important when dealing with lenses. Nikon is a really good name, but their warranty can't compare.
