  1. I was in HM forces, don't fret Floater, I was on the right side!!! Most interesting optical things we had to play with at that time was IR scopes (heat signitures) and Starlight rifle scopes (these would have made a Televue 85 on top of a rifle look tidy and nicely compact!!!).
  2. Wow, 38mm!! On the plus side, you can stay warm and watch through your EP from the kitchen window then! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. I missed my 41 Pan in the same way Derek, this has nicely filled that urge. Not sure I could resist another Panoptic though. That 55 Plossl will have about a fortnights eye relief! You'll heve to update us on how you get on with it. Just for info, the "grenade" is an oversised plasic container that looks the part. An actual grenade is smaller and the modern ones are made without the fragmentation grooves, ie, snooth.

  5. Here's my TV 40mm Wide Field (AKA hand grenade) I bought off Derek to fund his TV habit above! Just for fun I photographed it with a grenade. The Grenade is the one on the right. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Bargain at £80 Shane. You'll love it mate. Hi Derek (DRT), that is indeed your old 40mm in my case Sir! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. I have a 40 TV WF and a TV32 Plossl myself Shane so I'd be intrigued too. Bet the Nagler doesn't get the same points for eye relief!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Bit of a snob for binos, so saved hard for these (among others!) 8.5x42 Swaro Nikon EDG 8x32 8x24 Swaro Most impressive to me are the Nikons. Outstanding light gathering and peerless clarity.
  9. I just got hold of a nice TV wideview 40mm so decided to cut new foam and sort my case out! Here's the result. Top left, Speers Waler 5-8 zoom, TV Ethos 8mm, then 13mm, Explore Scientific 20mm, top right is the 40mm TV Wideview. Bottom left is a nice zoom made by Swarovski for Meade years ago before Meade made their own. Rare, and nice to use. A couple of Powermates in there too. Note gap........ ;-D Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
