I hope you like them as much as I do. My main criteria was portability and they're certainly portable.

Thanks. I could have spent a month pontificating.

OK, you can have the thread back now Stef.

Arrived this morning and I went straight out to give them a go. I am not used to using bins so I am no expert but these things are light and give good hand held views. I will get used to holding them steady in time, I wouldn't have liked to be holding a 10 without support.

Thanks for the recommendation Stuart. I can't imagine spending more than £200 and these seem great.

Stef, if you still haven't made your mind up, you could do worse than these.

I'm glad you like them, Peter, it's always a risk spending the money without trying them out first!
