Hi I will be visiting Vancover for three weeks and am wondering if any good optic shops.
I have looked on web but not really found any.
Has anyone any reccomendations i am wanting a pair of compacts as i already have 8x42 but want something i can carry in my pocket.Have been considering opticron but not got round to trying any .
So now thinking about Minox or Vortex or any others .
Has anyone any sugestions i cannot afford Lieca or Swarovski etc but need something with good eye relief as i wear glasses and also waterproof.
Hope to get some ideas of anyone.
Thans
Harold
 
Hi Harold, I am Writing this while on holiday in Japan , I am reasonably familiar with Vancouver optics shops. Depending on the grade you want, you could start with Vancouver Telescope, phone 604-737-4303, possibly Italian Sporting Goods, or at a slighty lower price level, London Drugs,also the larger camera stores,such as Kerrisdale Cameras and Lens and Shutter.
Hope this helps!
Regards, John
