Blimey CGN you take your time!

I have an uncle who is very considered in his investigation of any new purchase and sometimes spends the best part of a year going into every dealer/shop he comes across that stock the item and each time spends ages looking and questioning the sales people as if about to buy that moment... then thanks them profusely and leaves saying there's no rush.

Anyway well done on those Nikons, they should serve well. The light weight of modern models is useful. I bought some older binocs a couple of weeks ago that Mrs F has just claimed for horse racing. They are seemingly almost unused Russian 12x40s from about 30yrs ago with stunning optics but they do weigh 50% more than yours.

She's happy to carry the weight to have great image quality.

Like you we find the extra magnification of 10 or 12 useful over the often advised 7 or 8... and neither of us have trouble holding them still.

Of course I'm at the other end of the financial scale... they were £10 from a probate clearance.
