New bins

They arrived yesterday, well I couldn't carry on with all that walking backwards malarkey I'd have ended up doing myself significant harm.

Tempted by the Zeiss 8x32s but the price compared to the Nikons seems extreme. The HG Ls don't seem much lighter than the HGs but the focusing is a lot better. I think mine had gone off a bit as well, these seem even sharper. So far very pleased. Warehouse Express maintained their usual high standard of price and service as well (that's low price, and quick delivery - good communication with me when the carrier apparently took them to the wrong depot).

I'll now see about getting the old ones fixed.
