darcytribe:

You are welcome and I am delighted you are so pleased with the Meopta 8X32's. I returned mine, sold my old SLC's and bought a pair of SLC's used that were of later manufacture and have the newer coatings. They are very impressive for me.

I might spring for a pair of Meoptas again in a bit, but it would be the 7X42 format. Other reviews say they are very rugged. This may or may not be useful to me, as I am not very rugged myself. :-)

Cheers,
