    8x32 advice?

    Tell me about it. I have been angering people for half a century and will gladly continue to do so. There are several on this forum who know which end is up. However, they are comfortable allowing ME to be the target! The truth is not always popular. It is, however, always the truth. "The enemy...

    Best marine binoculars?

    Yes, Jan. A diamond saw can work wonders!

    8x32 advice?

    I have never seen a Nikon 8x32 SE with a "fatal fungal incursion." However, Cory Suddarth—S.R.O.—can solve your problem. After which, the instrument will need to be collimated. Cory has a collimator, or two ... or THREE and doesn't rely on that stupid "power pole" or "roof line" business that...

    Ocular Lens Size

    Mark Twain asked his publisher, William Dean Howells, why there was so much garbage in print, his response: "Because paper never shuns ink!"

    Usable Eye Relief (spartan method)

    Are you wanting to measure EYE RELIEF or the width of the exit pupil? Your photo makes it appear to be the latter.

    Best marine binoculars?

    "Optically correct" probably means "collimated." As for curved field, please note my sales tool from Captain's Nautical.

    There is so very much more than GLASS going on here! But, some people don't know and some people don't care. A few years ago, I THOROUGHLY explained an aberration a fellow was complaining about. He wanted quantifiable answers. I gave him accurate answers as simply stated as the situation would...

    Steiner Hunting 10x50

    Oh, my friend, I KNOW I am often taken as being rude. I do regret that. But I know the truth is far more important than me ... so: “If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a...

    ED x non-ED - color saturation.

    If you can quantify "almost no aberrations," it would be a good thing. Do you know what Seidel Aberrations are? And how they interact with each other.

    You do the same my friend. But ... remember: "The most hated man is the on who tells the truth." — Plato

    Steiner Hunting 10x50

    Is it the prisms or something else? Some people will easily spent $3,000+ to "UPGRADE" their binoculars when, in fact, most will never actually REALIZE a difference. When I bought my Nikon 8x32 Superior E, I had 5 or 6 cases on my sales floor—with several models of Zeiss, Leica, and Swarovski...
