[fairplay]

I'm really tempted, it's just that I tend to loose things easily (once left my sample collection box behind and forgot where I left it) and with my Opticron 10x tied round my neck, it is always to hand, and I'm not likely to loose it, and also the 'case' is all part of the same body.

The only real problem is with use - every time the lens is swung out of it's protective housing the screw works loose a little, but I only need to tighten it once a year, and I think I have even solved that by placing a tiny piece of Duck tape over the screw head stopping the screw working loose.

The Oxford mentioned here, seems to be a quality item, but if I bought one I would have to adapt it somehow to take a cord so I could hang it from my neck and from the photos, I don't see how I could do that, and having to take it from a belt clip/pouch and putting it back again with a wax jacket on would be a real hindrance.
