A couple of things I'm interested in - from memory the closest focus is 3 metres but I'm guessing that it will still show hot spots closer than that - just not in focus?Also I'd be interested to know how easy it is to hook up to your mobile phone (if you've tried it)Have you used it in the pitch dark yet? Interested to hear whether you're experiencing the same issues of having to change from eye to eye or to give it a break every 30 seconds as has been mentioned elsewhere?</blockquote>
