The details
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
Love at first sight. The IBIS ED brings the open-bridge design to the KITE range. The possiblity to wrap your entire hand around one of the barrels while keeping your index finger on the focus wheel, gives you a unique comfort and allows viewing and operating of the instrument with one hand only. The binocular barrels are slim, but still featre a sufficiently thick rubber armor with texture to provide you maximum grip. The metal twist-up eyecups are removable, allowing the user to easily clean them or replace them by new ones if necessary. The ED/HD optical system provides a briliant and sharp image from centre to edge. The color tone is perfectly natural for accurate determination.

Review UK Birdwatching Magazine
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
