    Review: Opticron Traveller BGA ED 10x32

    After much deliberation I decided to supplement my first-generation Swarovski 8x32EL with a 10x32 instrument, primarily to give a bit more reach when I don’t fancy carrying a scope and tripod. I opted to try a ‘real world’ alternative to the alpha 10x32s currently on the market as I find it...

    For 10x40BGA Dialyt owners only ...

    Posted on Zeiss forum as its not really a 'for sale' notice. Rummaging around in a box the other day, I came across a pair of Aquashields that I used with my now long deceased Dialyts back in the 80s. They were marketed by Lambert's of Lancaster (a UK optics retailer) as removable, protective...

    Sunagor 9-45x21(!) micro zoom binoculars

    Was entertained by a spot on a well-known TV shopping channel this morning trying to sell Sunagor 9-45x21 'micro zoom' binoculars.

    Manfrotto spares - are they having a laugh?

    The panning brake on my Manfrotto 700RC2 needs replacing due to wear and tear and I was surprised to find that the Ass(!) Pan Brake (R700.07) is indeed available as a user replaceable part. The shock came when I checked on the price of the part - a small rectangle of plastic, approx. 20mm x 6mm...

    Velbon Ultra Rexi L

    Hi all, Does anyone have any good experiences of using a small, angled scope (60-62mm maximum) with the above tripod, or is it really just a 'Mickey Mouse' support that should be avoided at all costs? The specs look decent on paper for a lightweight 'travel' tripod, with top leg sections of...
