A bit more www surfing;
Bushnell H2O Porro $150 incl pp from Camera Sky.
Pentax PCF WP II 10x50 $207 incl pp from Value Basket

at these prices as long as all else is equal or at least pretty similar, the non waterproof ones (best value being Olympus $110 at Ted's) loose out to these two for mine, but a coupla questions;

these are 'good name brands' out competing Andrew's so are they not as 'good in reality'?
they will apparently suit the bush applications but will they be 'OK' for AA?
the Pentax has an internal focus arm perhaps helping with the problems skysurfer had?
because they are water proof does that make then non collimate-able?
any other considerations?

i hate shopping!! but like it when the effort and help gets a good buy! i have the time atm and i look foward to the years of enjoyment, again Lindon
