Having frequented several binocular forums over the years, I’ve seen that virtually ANY complaint in the view is laid at the feet of the instrument. That is only partially true. Most of this relates to inexperience.
The fact is many of these problems/frustrating anomalies rest with the observer (physiological) and what he or she doesn’t know about optics in general or binoculars in particular. I have attached a couple of these problems which I wrote for the Caribbean magazine Times of the Islands. They rarely make it into print for the non-optics geek. But understanding them can often make a big difference in a viewing session.
Cheers,
Bill
PS For anyone wishing to question, challenge, or attack me, please realize I just had the hard drive on my big Mac wiped completely slick and had to get another iMac because some familiar software wouldn’t load on Sonoma. So, I’m just lumbering along … including my correspondence.
