Don't know why, but not even a brand I would have considered. Reviews sound good, and they are certainly available in the UK. I will check them out in the next week or so.Are you aware of any issues with plastic binocular bodies? My only experience is of cracks developing in a pair of Pentax reverse porro's. I am assuming the latest glass filled platics shouldn't suffer from this, and will provide a long working life for the optics. Thanks once again for all the help.</blockquote>
