Which should be really convenient in the midst of a remote landscape like Glencoe - unless you like carrying a battery and inverter as well as the rest of the kit :roll: :lol:

Hang on. You mean, to avoid turning a focusing handle, you fit a motorised mechanism that requires you to turn a handle to make it work? Methinks Uncle Barry has stopped taking his tablets :roll: :?
