Just out of interest, how far have optics come along.
So, for example, an old favourite of mine which I couldn't afford back in the day, the Leica Trinovid BA series, which just 'look' great anyway.... how does that now compare to a Conquest, or Kowa for example.
The Leica's seem to go for about the £500 mark now for good ones, and obviously Conquest are more.
I've seen a few 8x32 BA's for sale, one here, another on an Optics shop website.
Has anyone got some, and where do they sit in relation to optical quality alongside newer mid range stuff.
