[QUOTE="Chris Galvin, post: 3519596, member: 18675"] As you mentioned boats Joe.S Birdforum member and birding guide Peter Ericsson who lives in Thailand and guides all over South East Asia has had an MM3 50 ED with HDF zoom since we first launched the product. It is fair to say that his scope gets into a lot of hot and humid jungles, used on dry salt pans, used in wet highland woods and has never once had a problem despite being used hard every day. You and other subscribers to this forum may be interested to read the one and only 'scrape' he has had whilst using the scope. This text is copied from Peter's Facebook page [I]A one day shorebirding gave Wayne from South Africa a lot of target birds. Here are his 10 best: Spoon-billed Sandpiper Nordmann's Greenshank Asiatic Dowitcher Malaysian Plover White-faced Plover Long-toed Stint Chinese Egret Pallas's Gull Black-headed Ibis Painted Stork Another amazing thing happened. I somehow dropped my Opticron scope in the sea while on a boat ride to the sandspit. The scope stayed floating on the surface for the 20 seconds it took to pick it up. No damage, no water in the scope. Just had to dry the cover and it was back to normal.
