  • The new Opticron ED-X - first look

    Posted on 5 January 2012 by admin

    Just before Christmas, we were paid a visit by Opticron - who brought their brand new ED-X binocular to show us - and we were very impressed.  It's now been officially launched and our demo models will be here shortly - so it's time to post a few of our thoughts.

  • First Look - New Swarovski EL RANGE binocular - Review

  • 'The Tike' gets a Makeover!

    Posted on 20 July 2011 by neilphillipson

    'The Tike' is our super-economical company vehicle, a Toyota IQ - which we take to shows, nature reserves and all over the place - but until now it has been a boring white... not anymore!
    Some local friends of ours at Bossdog (www.bossdog.co.uk) in Dorking designed and then applied a full-body wrap to it so it [...]
