also got a few pairs of binoculars on the way to add to my modest collection a pair of bushnell excursion ex 7x36 which im hoping to use as a everyday pair and a pair of bushnell elite 8x43. i love my meopta meostar 8x42 but they give me a odd view when sky watching,great watching birds in bushes etc but not near as good as my original bausch and lomb elites the slick looking version from 1992 which i paid £600 for 32 years ago
