My wife is buying me a pair of binoculars for my birthday in November. She's also looking to become a volunteer for the RSPB, having recently acquired more free time. Since I recall reading that RSPB volunteers qualify for a discount on binoculars, I thought these two things might come together to our advantage. Does anyone know how much the discount is (or if there really is one)?

It's basically cost price plus vat.There's not much in the discount with the likes of Leica etc,but it's significant with rspb/viking makes.It's 20% for other goods.Think i'm right in saying that.

Tom.[/QUOTE]Thanks, Tom. That sounds good. It's the BG.PC 8x32 I'm interested in. I had been thinking of the Zeiss Conquest, but then I noticed that the RSPB pair had better field of view, close focus and eye relief. As long as the optical performance is okay, they should do me.
