    10X50 Swarovision

    Yes, the SwaroVision 8x32 is fine for a eyeglasses wearer, but does not fit the EDG 8x32, for which Nikon says 18.5mm but in fact the useful ER is only 13mm: eyepieces with the edge too big and protruding! Regards, Alessandro.

    Common Buzzard???

    Hi, it's a Common Buzzard, probably a juvenile, from the pattern of the upperparts. This is a VERY variable species and Collins' illustrations, also very beautiful and accurate (the best?) do not cover the whole range of variations. N.B. I apologize for my poor english! Cheers, Alessandro.
