    Stay-on case for Leica APO 65 scope wanted?

    At last, I have managed to get hold of a Kowa C661 stay-on case and it’s a almost perfect fit for my Leica ‘scope; the only slight problem is getting access to the forward focussing knob.

And within walking distance, I hope, is Son Real where Balearic Warblers hide away! I’m...
