    Thinking of buying a new OM-1 mk2

    I’m looking at the Oly system, but would love the 300 pro on a Fuji body (X H2S)

    No recent news, three friends have been in the Manavgat this last week, so had a lot of commoner migrants and some rarer stuff through

    Side May 23

    Going back to my favourite birding areas on the Med, not been since 2018, doing 11 nights from may 1st, will visit the old haunts, and maybe travel a bit further if stuff is viable and do-able, certainly Akseki-Cimikoy again, would just love to find Wallcreeper, i'm sure they are there, but up...

    Twitching by numbers - Book only available on Amazon

    Couldn't agree more, i just think you need a bit of imagination, to be able to convey to the reader, 'Ooh i wish i was there, wow sounds brilliant, what a great time that must of been' the disturbing part was GB didn't realise the reaction he got is symptomatic of todays society, Just imagine if...

    Twitching by numbers - Book only available on Amazon

    I don't find the book offensive, i find it pretty crap tbh, i know i could write a more eloquent tome on my adventures, oh and leave the very tasty bits, for other more salacious outlets. I am sick of the 'holier than thou culture that envelops our everyday lives, with a menacing sort of...

    DSLR Lenses

    Now that every man and woman are pre possessed with the new Canon RF lenses and R Cameras, its got to still be viable proposition to now grab great bargains in the EF range of Super Telephoto lenses?? After all they still take ridiculously good Photos, and can be accommodate on say an R6??

    IN PRAISE OF THE SWAROVSKI 12X42 NL PURE

    Another update, as stated by above poster, finding the correct eye-cup setup is quite a satisfying, after 9 days at flamborough, and ^ on Scilly, in all the differing habitats, from South landing, woodland style observing, headland, and Sea watching, Shearwater spotting from Scillonian (600+...

    IN PRAISE OF THE SWAROVSKI 12X42 NL PURE

    Scanning the edges of phragmites reed beds, and its so easy to now resolve 'Birdy' looking clumps, into Birds, easily finding cryptic Snipe, the clarity is amazing, like you can just reach out and touch the view. I've had the very best down the years, and these are just phenomenal...

    IN PRAISE OF THE SWAROVSKI 12X42 NL PURE

    A week on, and i really think, the 12x, can be the new 10, just for the amazing F.O.V, which is better than the Amazing EL 10x42 W B, some form of Swaro witchcraft, apart from maybe the price, as good an 11/10, just glorious. As well as christening them on Norfolks Bee-eaters, and an obliging...

    IN PRAISE OF THE SWAROVSKI 12X42 NL PURE

    Purchased the 12x42s, compared them with the 8s and 10s, 12s were just so good, honestly i rave about new Bins, The Leica Nocts and newest incarnation of Els were jaw dropping, but these Pure, well, well, well, just sensational, crystal clear, Tack sharp, colours absolutely spot on, feel...

    IN PRAISE OF THE SWAROVSKI 12X42 NL PURE

    Thats the magic, all my holidays are now planned around spring migration, and usually a fortnight on Scilly in october, and the necessary purchase of a nice pair of Zeiss for the Dame and she's hooked

    IN PRAISE OF THE SWAROVSKI 12X42 NL PURE

    Looking at purchasing NLs, so a test of 10s and 12s side by side is in order, i wouldn't overlook 8s either

    Thoughts on 10x32 EL Fieldpros

    I traded a pair of Els for some Noctivid, the ones from about 2015, and i honestly thought The leics, and they were, were an upgrade, i really didn't want to swap the 2015 Els, for the upgraded Fieldpros (all bins 10x42)btw, as i didn't think the upgrade was worth it, now i have traded in my...

    Thoughts on 10x32 EL Fieldpros

    After having issues with my Leicas, traded them in for these Beauties, apart from weight issues with 10x42s, i am so pleased, Crystal clear, Tack sharp, Velvet smooth focussing, easier to hold for a sustained period, i've hopped between Leica and Swarovski pretty regularly over the last 25 yrs...

    Swarovski 12x42 NL Pure and Leica 12x50 Ultravid+ comparisons

    Noctivid Dioptre issue

    Neither have i before this, and over the last 25 years i have had 10x42 BA & BNs, Ultravid 10x42, and Ultravid HDs, the only indue i ever had, ws the Armouring De-lamming on a my Ultravids

    Noctivid Dioptre issue

    The older leicas were bullet proof, but i knew i had issues when in Peru, but i started doubting my sanity, when the AD could find no issues, anyway i traded in + a cash adjustment for some Brand new 10x32 Els, i'm afraid Leica have lost me for good....
