New equipment

[Tringa]

After spending well over a year thinking about and reading about scopes and new binoculars I eventually bought both today.

I think I may have read that we aren't allowed to praise shops because they offer cheap deals, but can I recommend a shop for excellent service?

I bought both from the InFocus shop at London Colney and received excellent advice, was given the chance to use 6 pairs of binoculars and three scopes for well over an hour. At no time was there any pressure to make a decision or buy any particular equipment and it was clear that their intention was to find equipment that was right for me.

Really excellent all round.

Hi Tringa! What did you decide to buy in the end?

10x42 Delta SLs, comfortable to use, brighter image than my old 10x50s, light weight and close focussing and an Opticron GS815 with HDF zoom eyepiece. I tried the ED version of scope too, but to my eyes I could not see enough of a difference to pay the extra.

ive been using canon 10x30is bins for a while now after selling my rspb bins, i find the IS brilliant, cant fault them at all.
