ok folks.. now I know the standard advice...
but here's my thinking.
I have only seen 2 starters in monoculars
opticron dba and dba oasis.
I am very right eye dominant spectacle wearer. I am on a fairly tight budget and can usually get a loan of my dads scope if I am going anywhere exciting.
dba 8*42 will give me good light gathering good eye relief very light weight, compared to similar bins.
An extra 89£ for a 2.5* UTA (perhaps at a later date) will give me up to 20*42 which should be quite good in broad daylight.
so for a budget of £125.00 does anyone want to tell me not to be so stupid and that I'd be much better getting some bins from warehouse express?
IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCE OF THE OPTICRON MONOCULARS OR EQIVALENT BINS I'D L:IKE TO KNOW.
You're such a friendly lot I know you'll confuse me with conflicting opinions. But hey its early march with weather like january... so give me a headache.

The Opticron website lists the 8X42 DBA monocular at £249 and the 2.5 converter at £99.
Not sure where you get a total of £125.00 from.
