Kowa BD II XD 10x42 First Impressions then birder Review

A short Kowa story
Interesting theory, I need to test it the next time I go to the camera & binocular store. Thanks for mentioning that angle of my problem. Roughly I'd say my left eye's pupil is stuck at around 7 mm and my left eye at a constant 5 mm. The second part of the equation is that they're not... -

A humble dove
