Care to share some pictures of what you did and how it looks now? What's the weight now, still in the 9 pounds range as before? I presume it should be less now, with only one eyepiece.I think for hiking, that is still a bit heavy, unless it's just flat everywhere. The combo my daughter got from me weighs less than 3 and a half pounds, including tripod with quick release plate and head. But of course, that's just a Minox MD 50 with correspondingly lesser quality. But then, she is happy not to have to carry more up the mountains.</blockquote>
