    repair cost

    Wonder why they were so expensive to repair. I sent 2 pairs of Leica for service/repair via a optics store in September to Leica, Portugal. 8x32BA and 8-12x42 duovids. Got the 8x32 back 3 weeks later. Cleaned and new rubber armour £35. Duovids still outstanding as they need 'spare parts', but...

    I'll get these wrong, but, I'll say Grey plover, Redwing, Barwit.

    Is there a phone scoping adaptor for Kowa TSN 883 and iPhoneX?

    Opticron may do one also. Phoneskope is hugely expensive if you live outside the US. With shipping it's close to £100 shipped to UK. For what is literally a little piece of plastic!!!

    At last...

    My personal opinion is that the pricing you have mentioned is optimistic, for example this may be a bit more competitive. Hope this helps! I see what you mean. Where I've been looking is over priced. Thanks for that.

    At last...

    How would a 10x42FL stack up against 7x or 8x? I have a shop local to me that has a 10x42FL for £1,149.00. Would these be worth a look? They look really good. Also they would be a lot lighter than my leica 10x42BN's and I'm curious.

    Why would the RSPCA need to call the fire Brigade for a young gull rescue?
