Message: <blockquote data-quote="Troubador" data-source="post: 3250548" data-attributes="member: 109211">Thanks Brock.The Ultravid 7x42 was very tempting and I actually had a look at it in my favourite bino store. But I was seduced by the SF's field of view and handling and the HT will take centre stage on gloomy black over-cast, hissing it down with rain days when a half pint's worth of extra light is worth everthing. The Conquest 8x32s will serve when butterflies and dragonflies call and the little Terras will do risky stuff like clambering around rock pools to photo marine life.And the Uvid's close focus of 3 metres is just not enough for me so I would find it frustrating. But the view is great and to me more attractive than EL. Although to be sure we aren't talking vast differences here.Lee</blockquote>
