Simon S: Your site is terrific. Since joining this forum several weeks ago, I have enjoyed and consulted it numerous times. I hope I can do at least half as well! Why do you enjoy collecting binoculars? For me it seems to be a congruence between a love of the outdoors, an interest in history, an enjoyment of fine precision instruments, and a penchant for mechanical tinkering.
