Ah, wonder if that's the place where some other BFer was considering a Viking V-80ED scope package for under £300. Sounds like they offer some good deals.Nope, I was going for the latest SLC neu model at a viking optical centre in norwich - it was immaculate for £530!!
Now sorted with a 8x32 trinovid:t:

How do you carry them, Henry? I have trouble carrying my 840g 7x42s, partly because of the weight pulling on my neck and partly because of the way they feel against my chest—like a brick.I doubt very many birders want to carry 1200g binoculars around all day, no matter how good the optics.

That's ingenious, Ronald. Do you have a photo, by any chance?I've attached a counterweight ( a metal buckle ) of 125 grams on the neck-strap, which makes my 740 gram bins actually feel like 615 grams. Like you I had trouble carrying my bins around my neck all day, until I thought of this solution. I began by attaching the bino case with some weight in it to the neck-strap but this looked definitely soppy; big bulge on your back you may be adressed to as Quasimodo, so I decided to look further and came up with the buckle. I simply put two pieces of strap and attached them to the eyelets of my bins and to the left and right end of the buckle. Whole thing is nice and flat, works great.

Hello michael,
Hope this works; I attached 3 files with drawings.
Greetings, Ronald
Thanks, Ronald, that's very clear. I think over here the mountain climbers call those things karabiners. But I'm very impressed by your beautiful drawings. Funny too. Excellent.Hello michael,

Hi Ronald,
Very nice graphics! Reminds of the very entertaining characters (and situations) that are found in many Japanese product manuals.....they have a great knack of bringing their products to life in cartoon form - often with quite bizarre possibilities if you fail to follow proper procedure!!
I hope we see a lot more of your character explaining the whys and wherefores of binoculars/birding techniques.....does he have a name?
Cheers,
Mook.
Ehmmmm... it's me, this character, well, sort of; so I suppose I could call him Ronald, but options for a better name are open.
