Thanks for looking Charl.
I've always liked the Optica...but like you "tadpole" was what I've always thought as well.

The bird is stubborn and flies as it looks... stubbornly.

I never really warmed to the Optica. I think it's a case of "If it doesn't look right...........".
A great observation platform though.
