    Swarovski SLC HD 8x42 - bargain price

    Forget that! I've just arrived home to find a voicemail to say that the price is wrong on their website (although it's still showing as £1050, despite them saying it was going to be changed). Are companies able to change their price, even after i've been sent an order confirmation?

    Swarovski SLC HD 8x42 - bargain price

    Anyone seen these bins better priced anywhere else? I've looked and the next best price I could find them was £1359. http://www.williampowell.com/Shooting--Dogs/Binoculars--Scopes/Swarovski-Slc-Hd-Binoculars_BI135.htm

    Part-exchange deals? Swarovski bins

    Hi, I’m looking in to buying a pair of Swarovski 8x42 SLC HD bins and wondered if anyone could suggest somewhere that I may perhaps get a good part exchange deal for my current Swarovski 8x30WB SLC bins. I’ve also considered sticking them on eBay, but wondered whether I’d be better off...

    Thanks guys - that's what i'd pencilled in, but couldn't seem to find any photo's anywhere that matched it closely enough. Cheers, Jamie.

    Canon S95 for digiscoping

    Garry those are some excellent shots, particularly given they were handheld to your scope. Really tempted now. Anyone know where's best to find this camera at the cheapest price? Cheers, Jamie.

    Pheromone lure combinations?

    Harry - thanks very much for the reply. I may give that a go some time then, although I think i'll perhaps stick to hanging up one lure at a time for now. I did manage to attract my first clearwing last weekend (an Orange-tailed) which has certainly given me some encouragement. Cheers, Jamie.

    Pheromone lure combinations?

    Hi, Having read about being careful not to cross contaminate pheromones, I am wondering how it is that pheromone lure combinations work for some clearwing species? For example, the guide I got with my order of pheromones from ALS lists Red-tipped Clearwing as being responsive to MYO, TIP, and...

    Cyprus in early October

    Hi, I am visiting Cyprus for the first time in autumn (heading out for a week from the 4th – 11th October) and, although not a birding holiday (I’m going with a friend and his wife who are not birders!), I will definitely still be taking my optics, so will no doubt try and fit some in! We’ll be...

    iPhone video zoom app?

    Hi, Just a quick question. Does anyone know of (or use) an app that adds zoom capability to the video function on the iPhone 4 so that it could be used to videoscope?! Thanks, Jamie.

    Swarovski replacement parts?

    Hi, Just to say thanks again for the replies. I contacted Swarovski by e-mail today regarding the missing rubber ring (and asked about some replacement objective lens covers) and they replied very quickly to say that they would send me some free of charge today. Good stuff. Regards, Jamie.

    Swarovski replacement parts?

    Hi, I recently lost the rubber ring from one of the eyecups on my Swarovski 8x30WB bins. I've found a few sites online that supply replacement Swarovski eyecups, but the £25 quoted seems unreasonably high for a small piece of rubber to me. Can anyone recommend a good place to try? I literally...
