    66A follow up. Questions

    My 10 year old 774 was the same from new and has also never been an issue for me.

    Canon RF 600MM & 800MM with R3 Combo anyone else..?

    Yet another poor, pointless picture of boxes.

    Do you have a collection? How you downsize it?

    Or is the question how do you decide what to sell and what to keep? My 10x42 FLs would be the first to go as they get the least use.

    good views of woodcock: your experiences

    Not exactly a good sighting, but an unusual one - a December evening rush hour I was walking down a platform at London Liverpool St station and a Woodcock flew along the track of the adjacent platform and out on to the concourse.

    Expirience with Zeiss Service bad.

    I've also received excellent service from Zeiss in the UK within the last year.

    What binocular with added feature(s) do you use?

    On the 770 series Kowa did it properly, the hood slides out over the filter.
  14. SimonLS

    What binocular with added feature(s) do you use?

    Indeed. A chip on the filter, not the objective.
  15. SimonLS

    What binocular with added feature(s) do you use?

    Or were circular required when 35mm SLRs got autofocus?
  16. SimonLS

    What binocular with added feature(s) do you use?

    I use a filter for protection on my Kowa 774 - it's been needed once!
  17. SimonLS

    What binocular with added feature(s) do you use?

    Now discontinued, the 42mm Zeiss HTs could take filters as covered in this thread: https://www.birdforum.net/threads/b-w-nano-coated-46mm-clear-filters-on-zeiss-8x42ht.382236/

    Annual trip to Devon and Ham Wall

    Julie, looks like it might be the caterpillar of an Emperor Moth.

    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    Ken, That's about right, going west to east (ish).
  21. SimonLS

    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    Most likely the International Space Station - could be seen over the UK 2 or 3 times last night.

    Zeiss Service

    That's right. Here's a link to the web site: Binocular Repair Services For All Makes of Binoculars and Telescopes Did a great job on my FLs recently.

    What am I?

    The shape is there and enlarging the image the yellow and red-brown tones are, too.
  24. SimonLS

    What am I?

    In that case I will go with my thought - Bee-eater?

    Naturetrek and similar bird holidays.

    Satisfied customer indeed - I like the way they (usually) focus on birds but also cover other wildlife and local history as well. Doubtless other companies do, too. Spain as mentioned, Italy and Romania for me when my circumstances allow.
