Thanks.

Hello all,

Thanks for all your advice. I've got some 'Strathspey' waterproof 10x50s on the way and an L-adaptor and a monopod (For £8.49!).

I tried some 12x60 Visionarys but I couldn't hold them steady. I didn't bother trying anything else. Then I went home and noticed these for £50 'as new' from seller with a good reputation. It'll be the first time I will have got a bargain off Ebay.

I can't wait but thanks to everyone who answered my tedious questions.

That looks like a neat bit of shopping you did there!
