    Do you get a lot of mess on the floor from your feeders?

    Digital slr or digiscope?

    Hi all I used to use a slr in the days of film with a 500mm F4.5 lens. I gave it up due to the weight of all the gear and took up digiscoping. My question is to those that have digiscoped and use Digital slr's. Which do you prefer or which system gives you the best results? I am thinking of...

    4500 on/off switch problem

    The on/off switch on our 4500 has become stiff and awkward to use. Whilst it does still work I can only think this will become worse over time. Has anyone had a similar problem. My first thoughts were to give it a squirt of something like wd40 but with it being an electrical contact not sure...
