    Nomi Cam's use of 6-axis robotic equipment to test for lens glare

    Well said. "Yet these binoculars are still bought and I suppose for many users the flare is not a problem." For sure. As I noted in another thread, I never even realized I had a severe VG problem until this year at the harrier roost. This is despite having owned and loved EL's for 19 years. In...

    Nomi Cam's use of 6-axis robotic equipment to test for lens glare

    Well said. I realize there’s a big difference between camera lenses and binoculars. And I certainly wasn’t implying that Nom Cam’s robotic testing or techniques would work for binoculars. I merely wanted to point out how there has been thinking outside the box in terms of assessing optical...

    Nomi Cam's use of 6-axis robotic equipment to test for lens glare

    For sure. Henry Link is a national, treasure regards binoculars. But if quantitative, objective measurements can be made for camera lenses to allow comparison,surely they can be performed for binoculars to inform the customer in his/her decision making. Outside this forum, relatively few have...

    Nomi Cam's use of 6-axis robotic equipment to test for lens glare

    Perhaps you’re correct, but given that VG has had such wide coverage on the site, and because I am the owner of two pairs of Swarovski, it seemed appropriate here. My only goal is to have some improvements made in binoculars that I dearly love other than the VG. We need to get as far away from...

    Nomi Cam's use of 6-axis robotic equipment to test for lens glare

    Instead of qualitative, uncontrolled assessments of camera lens glare (e.g. I see or never see veiling glare), they use sophisticated 6-axis robotic equipment and software to obtain objective, repeatable tests. Oh to have such a machine for objectively comparing veiling glare among binocular...
