    Opticron Traveler 8x32 BGA ED

    Thought I'd give this question a little bump :) The Traveller is a very appealing model but the fit and finish of the three examples I tried when they first came out wasn't brilliant (loose armour, offset dioptre setting etc). An updated version would be most welcome.

    CL 8x25 due an upgrade?

    CL 8x25 due an upgrade?

    After consuming a lot of great info on BirdForum over the past few years I thought it was time I registered and posed a question that I thought someone might have a view on :) My partner has a pair of CL 8x25s that we bought about 9 years ago, eg about 3 years after they were first released.
