    Everyone seems to get pretty excited and appreciative when Henry Link posts. Does Holger Mlerlitz post here? you see his name held in revere as well. I tended to have gravitated towards lilcrazy, FrankD, and Steve99's posts. That Brock character is someone I imagine I'd enjoy sitting back...

    Why so many alphas returned for adjustment?

    One pays a premium for premium quality. I dont own and alpha, likely wont, however IMO (worth what you paid for it!) every alpha on the shelves should be cherry. It is inexcusable to pay top dollar and still get QC issues. This is why Swaro will drop bino's and scopes in the next 20 years...

    vortex diamondback versus Kowa...

    unlike binoculars/optics, where one pays disproportionately for the last 2-5% of performance, in high end audio equip one pays DEARLY for that extra .001% of performance. And i think I am being generous!

    There's certainly some motivation for that.

    Vote for the best "looking" binocular

    The bushnell elites have a nice balance of simplicity and classy accoutrment (sp!?) I fancy the simple elegance of the theron LT 8x32 (shown on the right) and there is certainly something about the Nikon SE 8x32 that speaks CLASS. The much much lauded SIGHTRON can turn heads for opposite...

    Pocket binocs recommendation

    Similar to leupold katmai in size but different coatings? recall reading that maybe.

    Pocket binocs recommendation

    I dont understand this either. Take it a step further, why so few mid/lower priced compact models in 5.5, 6, 7x range? I refuse to believe it is market forces only. Perhaps there is something in terms of the physics... is it that much more difficult to design a small lower power bino that...

    Sightron "Blue Sky" II 8x32

    These nikko sterling nighteater 8x36 bear more than a passing resemblance as well... http://kinneysshootingsupply.com/nikko-stirling-binocular-p-461.html Allegedly Bosma made in China, off to Aussie land, then the world.

    Swarovski 8x32 EL & Nikon 8x32 SE what a combo!

    crunchy... too fast...bit of slack...inconsistent tension... You guys pay EXTRA for alphas?! ;-)

    Sightron "Blue Sky" II 8x32

    Maybe... I'd hope so as well, but has it not been said that the SII 'punches' way above its price point? There must be SOME bino's that fall to th eleft of that curve, and are slightly overpriced comparitively. Dont know, but I'd expect there's a decent degree of duplication at multiple price...

    Mind Blown by Hawke Pro-Stalk 8x56 ED

    I share binos with many people regularly. I am struck by how many people dont know that they have to adjust IPD, diopter, and honestly, even the focus. "I cant see" "these re all blurry" It boggles my mind, but I am now 100% convinced there is a decent % of the population who...
