"I was in the shop yesterday as I was in Fife visiting family and have heard of Cluny Store through a friend. I actually had no intention of buying on the day but everything my friend said was correct...excellent service, very knowledgeable and great prices! I even got a free coffee, which was a lovely touch.
I do a bit of birding and have been looking for a decent pair of bins. I have had it narrowed down to the Swarovski ELs and the Ultravids for a while, but never had the two side by side.
After a lot of swapping and viewing (at a handy viewing gallery Cluny had) I decided to go for the Leicas. A bit cheaper, and I honestly think there is zero compromise in quality, these Ultravids seem chrystal clear to me.
Happy customer, thanks again Cluny for your patience and help. What a selection too!"
