Celestron 71020 SkyMaster 25-125x80 Zoom Binoculars

I bought them 6 months ago. I've studied a lot of options before buying them. They are perfect for the sky amateurs. I knew they were heavy, i read a lot of reviews and i thought it wasn't a problem for me: yes, the big size is a BIG, VERY BIG problem....
