    Screw up eyecups

    Might seem an odd question, but method in my madness, trust me, how many people use their bins with the eyecups fully, or almost fully, extended? Asking both from your own preference and from your observations of others. Thanks

    Avian Optics

    Hi all, does anyone know who manufactures the binoculars marketed in the UK as, "Avian Optics"? I have seen them being sold by Ace Optics of Bath, just wondered if they are a generic Chinese glass that is marketed with various retailers "own brand" or a standalone brand. TIA

    Winged eyecups and rain guard for Nikon HG 10x32

    Hi I recently acquired a pair of HGs and am very pleased with them, only real negative is the plastic rain guard which is so loose that it falls off. I like winged eye cups and have them fitted to Leica Ultravid 10x42 and Swift Audubon 8.5x44. I tried the Leica eyecups on the Nikons and they...

    winged eyecups for 10x42 Ultravid

    Hi all, first a thank you to those who have given very useful advice that helped guide me to buying a pair of used Ultravids.

    Essential Binoculars

    My 3 year old granddaughter was showing some interest in the Bushnell glasses that live on our kitchen windowsill, so I bought her a pair of her own. Marketed in the U.K. By Bresser, they are light, easy to focus and cost just over £20. She immediately began to refer to them as "my essential...

    Close view of buzzard

    I was very fortunate recently, I drive a 12 tonne Mercedes Unimog at work, which has a tall cab and very large windscreen. I was driving slowly down a narrow lane with high banks and hedges on each side. A Buzzard flew through a gap in the hedge and continued to fly directly in front of the...

    Full circle?

    I have been looking for a pair of 10x32 binoculars and have tested some very good glasses, initially they were intended to run alongside my old Leica 10x25, but the problem with the Leicas was their lack of close focus. Having tried the larger 32mm glasses, I felt that I would be reluctant to be...

    Feathers, East Sussex

    Paid a visit to the above mentioned business today. Best binocular buying experience to date, laid-back friendly and very knowledgable. I spent a couple of hours and came away with a budget pair and a longer term plan to sell a couple of pairs and buy some top-end glasses. Plenty of local bird...
