    Who else is cheating?

    12x50 does not say that the exit pupil is 4.166. it is a measure of the binoculars, it implies that the magnification is 12X and that the objective lens is manufactured with a 50mm diameter. As long as this is so then there is no deception.

    Can I delete a '.....dll' file safely from Windows folder ?

    If you can delete the files from the other folders and can see from the folder they are in that they only apply to this program there is no problem. If the folder they are in could relate to anything else I would not delete them I would rename them by adding a number to their name, then if you...

    Nikon on Ebay

    I had an identical scope but with a 20x before I bought my ED78, I sold that on ebay and got £100 for it, I suspect that had the phone lines in manchester not been wiped out by a fire in one of the tunnels I might have got a little more. I bought it from In focus in 2000 and paid £210 for it...

    Lots of people on here have been recommending these http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_8&products_id=90463 as superb for a cheap pair recently. Have a look at http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=53991

    £500 to spend - what should I get?

    Not in the same league as the Nikon ED78 that is at the moment selling for £279 on ebay with 13 hrs left. I had one before I bought my ED78 and I would not go back to using one.

    Refurbished a risk?

    I bought a Canon 300d from the canon outlet on ebay two years ago, supposedly refurbished but in fact brand new with a 12 month warranty, it has never skipped a beat since then. The auction finished at 11 am on a Thursday and the camera was delivered in my hands by 11 am the following day. If I...

    £500 to spend - what should I get?

    The last two similar to that one went for £711 and £855 respectively. The Nikon ed 78 gives at least as good an image as these scopes if not better and costs a lot less.

    Must have free software!?

    In 13 years using windows I have never knowingly been attacked with a virus. I've certainly never had an active virus in my machine. What is more I only started to use an antivirus when I got broadband 3 years ago. Switching to Linux means lots of grief and a learning curve that is so steep as...

    £500 to spend - what should I get?

    Do you have a reference for it I did a search for Nikon ed78 and came up with no results. I would almost agree with you when you say that there is nothing that comes close for the price, though I would say that you will actually find it very difficult to find anything that is an improvemnet...

    DSLR Canon 30d & Digi Scoping? Possible?

    The problem with the canon 50mm lens is that the front element of the lens is recessed into the lens by quite a distance, I bought one last year having been quite successful with the 18-55 kit lens, but I found that because the lens face was so far from the scope eyepiece that I struggled to get...

    First scope: Your opinion please

    It can be loosened to allow the scope to be turned in the carrier to allow viewing though the angled eyepiece from the side.

    First scope: Your opinion please

    I use a Nikon ED78 with a 25-75 zoom and a Canon 300d together with a Nikon FSA1,2 and 3 adapter. I used it previously with various compact cameras and nothing that I've tried before approaches the ease with which I can digiscope pictures nor the success rate of the pictures I take. The FSA...
