Can't be bothered waiting on auctions or can't buy the top gear so I thought I would actually go for a 4x12 by Viking to get me started so that's ordered for slow post.It's definitely going to be easy to carry. 3mm exit pupil seems better than a lot of others oh and the 12.5 deg fov.Ok I don't expect it to be that crystal but I hope it isn't terrible. It will give me some idea of how useful they may be and then maybe I'll look to something better later or maybe even another Viking with different mag.If I really want distance viewing then I have plenty of bins but this may be useful otherwise for various things or around the house. I am a bit short sighted and my near sight has been getting worse lately also. It's definitely going to be something new for/to me so should be fun:-O (why is that head purple?) I don't get some of these icons. :eat: What's that about?Guess this one I get. Cheers for helping me decide B <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
