Possibly there's enough interest in Bino's for a separate Equipment Discussion or "sticky thread"? Most people are terrified to touch them once they're "out of kilter". Count me in - they're fun and a good way to while away a wet weekend. Apart from a brilliant source of lenses and prisms for experimentation. (74mm f44 folded/utilising some quality bino parts?) There's a multitude off good Japanese glass out there just going begging.......
