    Out-of-guarantee binocular repair and servicing Europe and UK

    This is really a bit of a hand waving request for insights, advice or whatever about the current state of play and perhaps recommendations for independent repairers. The first three pages of a UK Google search on binocular repairs gives what looks like maybe half a dozen independents. Most of...

    New Nikon Fieldscope eyepieces on old scopes

    This quote from an old thread : I wonder if someone could advise whether the lack of compatibility of new eyepieces with older Fieldscopes is down to the length of the intrusion into the body of the scopes that the newer wide angle and zoom eyepieces have (which I see the 24/30x MC eyepiece...

    Anyone tried ED50 with teleconverter?

    Just curious if anyone has something like an Olympus TCON-17 or B300 and thought to try it out. Presumably the light loss wouldn't be too bad but wondered how significant the loss of quality would be. If performance is a near miss I understand there are better quality converters around (though...

    Porro extra "3D" view

    Just noticed this put forward as a selling point in the Opticron USA brochure for the Savanna porros. I understand at very close distances the extra distance between the objectives in a traditional porro can be a nuisance while at great distances it presumably ceases to be a factor at all. For...

    Laceless Boots

    Could be a short thread this one |:d| Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for walking boots that can be secured with one hand. Am asking on behalf of someone with a dickie hip (has already had other one replaced). Thought of Chelsea boots but maybe not comfy or substantial enough. If...

    Waterproof Centre Focussing Porro Binoculars

    Any views as to whether these have a fighting chance of seeing off the all conquering roofs for a bit longer? Certainly in the 8x40 range they certainly seem capable of offering wider fields of view in mid-price range. Must we expect a little less robustness, though? Any info on just how...

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1

    Anyone interested in receiving/offering info/tips etc. on this camera? Bought one because of the 12x image stabilised zoom lens (420mm equivalent) and am hoping to be able to take pictures off bird feeders, birds in sanctuaries, animals at zoo etc. It's only a 2MP camera and is really a point...
