 Binoculars - Haywain
"I intend to take up Haywain's recommendation and make a trip to CleySpy next week to try out a selection."

CG, as you mentioned a budget of up to £400 in your first post, a reasonable approach might be to ask for half a dozen 'up to £200' (I'd be interested to see what you think of the Helios Aero, if they have them), pick out the one you prefer, then test that against half a dozen in the £400 area. Allow plenty of time.

I believe that binoculars are a personal thing and, to a large extent, you have to trust your instincts. It must be some 35 years ago now, that I was trying some acoustic guitars in a Leicester music shop; one, priced at the princely sum of £75 was exceptionally comfortable to to play and sounded wonderful. But, I had never heard of the make - it wasn't a Gibson, Martin or Guild - so I gave it a miss. It was, in fact, an early Lowden - now accepted as one of the finest guitars available and costing around £4,000. As I say, sometimes, you should just trust your instincts!
