Right now the Canadian dollar is 34% less than the US dollar. You can buy in Canada in Canadian dollars for very close to the same price it is in U.S> dollars in the States. The Geovid 10x42 2700 B are about 3,200 up here so 2,400 US. The 10x42 HD-R are 2,200 Canadian so 1650 US. The non HDs are cheaper if you can find some. If that is of interest try contacting McBain Camera Main Branch in Edmonton 1-800-661-6980 and ask for Bob T. Tell him Dean from Alberta Outdoors referred you. They provide better than advertised prices for people referred by existing clients.
