Hi
New to the forum (must go up and say hello).
At the moment I have a pair of Ross Stepruva 9x35 that I inherited from my Grandad. I'd like a new pair of binoculars and was looking at the Opticron Imagic tga wp 8x32 as they are lightweight porros.
However having read around obsessively for the last few weeks it looks as though there is a problem with the bridge of the imagic tga's being 'wobbly'.
Pete Gamby states they have only had a few returned because of this and the Allbinos review states:
"Classic bridge which moves smoothly and evenly but with a slight lateral „play”. You can defocus the device by applying a significant pressure. "
So just how bad is this problem? Is it a deal breaker?
Are there alternatives (I looked at the aspheric wa's on Ebay but the eye relief may be a bit short for a glasses wearer and they are heavier)?
Regards,
carl
