Gentlemen, Thank you all for the help and advise I've received from you. It's truly appreciated; and I believe, not gone to waste? you'll be pleased to know that my search is over! I spent yesterday in the Welsh Capitol searching through all the camera and binocular retailers. Now some of the Bins we discussed were definitely Not For Me! The Nikon Aculon XXX Stroud & Gloucester Range XXX plus a few others we discussed, Just didn't feel right. In the end it came down to a choice of two : The Opticron Discovery 8x32 or the Opticron Oregon 8x32. Both WP and about the same size; although the Discovery was a wee bit lighter in weight. I tested them with a shop assistant, who is also a bird watcher, he accompanied me out side in to the light; and we tested both bins. Now the Discovery was selling at £139.99 and the Oregon was selling for £79.99 at Camera-Land Cardiff. After testing both, the Guy from the shop said " I didn't think I'd say this! But there's nothing between them; and at half the price of the Discovery, I prefer the Oregon" Those were my thoughts also, we tried them again in store; and came to the same conclusion. So I bought the Opticron Oregon WP LE 8x32. I'm pleased with them so far. But going in to a Camera Shop was a big mistake! I ended up buying a new telephoto lens for my Panasonic GX7 Camera The panasonic Lumix 100 x 300 f4.0 - f5.6 Lens. Her in doors was not amused; especially as it's so close to Christmas. Oh well too late now to change my decision! But seriously Gents; I'm so grateful for you help and guidance. many thanks.
Regards
Mostyn
