Not a phrase that springs to my mind or presumably the Kowa rep who was colouring in the red trim with a Sharpie while I was there.:eek!:It's a couple of years since I last tried the SV. I'd just come from the Nikon stand having tried the Monarch 7 and Pro staff 7 and then the Kowa BD XD and it didn't impress me at all at the time. The Explorer WA has had an upgrade, I've not heard that the SV has as well. I'll try to have a look in a couple of weeks.David</blockquote>
