RFI Budget Waterproof Binoculars [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[L&L Knight <>]

G'day Marnix,

I use a pair of Pentax 12*50 PCF WP.  Apart from the fact that they 
weigh a fair bit and have a reverse focus thread, they perform well - 
provide a very clear field of view for a budget pair of knockers.  They 
are also very robust.  I normally use a karabiner to attach them to one 
of my pack straps so I don't have them hanging off my neck.
Regard, Laurie.
