Other professional features include a close focussing distance of only 2 metres, and dampened focussing mechanisms for sharp, in-focus images. And at a weight of only 725g, these binoculars won’t be a burden when trekking through nature.

As a photographer that loves wildlife our very own Kruger National Park has been my chosen holiday destination for many years. However it is a dream of mine to see the Masai Mara migration – I think visiting Kenya is probably the ultimate for any photographer. And with binoculars like that the WOW factor must be HUUUGE!
Never been to Victoria Falls. Would love it.

Would love to go to Socotra Island.Wynand Smit (wjsmit@gmail.com)
Birding Big Day is 26th November 2011 and I would love to visit Phinda, which is the ultimate experience for avid birders in KwaZulu Natal – with over 480 bird species and of course get to see the Big 5.
