Thanks Ratal.

I'm getting on just fine with it. Love it to be honest. Have no complaints at all. I particularly like how compact the scope is compared to other scopes with a 65mm objective lens. I travelled 150 miles by train to visit a new nature reserve last week, the scope packed nicely in a small rucksack.

Have you seen an Opticron MM3 60mm yet? I had a look through one at Bird fair. Image about the same at the MM3 50mm but as would be expected, I little brighter.
 
^^ Nice pics of a cracking bird, lovely sign of summers arrival when they pop up along the woodland edges.

As for MM3 60mm, I'll skip it. I love the 50/18x combo for going 'Ultra light.'

Still torn whether to get a Swaro 65 for sea watching and future air travel. Thinking that 65HD would be ideal for hunting down Harlequin Duck and Steller's Eiders.
 
Moocher that's a nice blog you got there. Well done for making the journey to Leighton moss , I very much like what your doing with video something I need to try when my adapter arrives.

Thanks Paul. I am really enjoying the Novagrade adapter. I have in the past neglected video, but with the phone securely attached to the scope, a smartphone can take some very decent footage.

I'm sure you will enjoy using the adapter yourself, let me know how you get on.
