Maybe a real close look at whats going on with the NV's focus wheel too. Maybe some MHG's thereafter. EDGs may have to wait for Birdfair.It's a little frustrating. No shortage of demos in the £100-£400 Nikon range. Makes sense. There's always a reason.Maybe I'm a little behind the times. Bricks and mortar is probably a very 20th C idea to many. I'm perhaps a little old fashioned. I like being a little old fashioned in this regard though.Thanks again for taking all the pieces and throwing them in the air again Chuck.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Yes, of course EDG is up there alongside the specs of the alphas. Don't know what I was thinking. The housing no doubt divides opinion. Me? I love it. Rubber armour? Batman's glove compartment in the Batmobile. Not keen on the polished gold but that's Nikons brand ident. Its part of the deal. Matt frosted black would have been a nice touch though.Now there's an image. Batman crouching in a collapsable hide looking for Kingfishers. Ha ha - barmy British weather. Apologies from a sleep deprived Moog. Was up at four am with just three hours under my belt. First rays of sun and I revert to Carribean time. I wouldn't mind but I haven't even had the pleasure of visiting !Who knows?Worth it though as the little garden critters were already going about their business in some numbers.Anyway. No harm done and hope I raise the odd chuckle.All the bestTM</blockquote>
