    Biggest WOW binoculars you have ever looked through?

    No. Surely Breguet will never sell it anyway and frankly spending $50M on a mere replica is frightfully infra dig. The 6x42 is rather handsome isn't it? Lee

    I found grey a bit odd at first but came to really like it, other folks probably took one look and walked on by. It's unusual and sometimes people don't want to be thought of as 'unusual'. Lee

    Biggest WOW binoculars you have ever looked through?

    Yes indeed. A grey SF to go with your red Ferrari 250 GTO ($38M) and your Patek Philippe 5016A ($7.3 million) would make a nice set for Christmas. Lee

    Thats not at all difficult to understand. Yes the Trac is something totally new to you and it sounds like you love it as much as I love my Conquest 8x32. If that is so, no wonder you want to keep it and use it just as I have uses for not only the Conquest but also my little Terra. Selling the...

    Apoplectic= angry and displeased (Cambridge University Dictionary) Haven't noticed anyone angry or displeased just laughing our socks off at Dennis's cycle of behaviour. I think you just like the word apoplectic or apo-plectic meaning people go plectic but without those annoying chromatic...

    LOL He is getting flak for contradicting everything he has said for the past umpteen years and he is getting it because it has happened before. A new love comes along and its, just, like, totally amazingly so blisteringly better than, well, anything. Lee

    What was in the glasses? Shots? All weekend? A pair of supermarket bins would look fabulous after that :-O Lee

    Dennis wash your mouth out there are ladies visiting this site you know, so I have edited your quote above. But by asking that I was suggesting that your last visit to the 'drinking place' might have influenced your judgement. Now it seems that not only your EL 32 mm has become saleable junk...

    You might have no clear perception of the other alphas especially if you prioritise the warranty above other characterisitics but I beg to differ and have a very clear picture of what Leica and Zeiss mean to me. I have never considered the warranty when deciding to buy bins. The bins are either...

    Dennis You are a great advertisement for the dizzying, mind-blowing, heady flush of romantic enthusiasm that comes with a new love which lasts and lasts and lasts............................... until the next new love. You haven't been down to the pub again have you? Lee

    Hi Dennis Thank you for noticing and posting: The Wanderer didn't. ;) Has the EL 32 gone yet? Lee

    Wandy They have a limited area to the front within which they have binocular vision. See the example below. The dark blue marks the area of binocular vision for (L-R) Man, owl and pigeon. Lee

    David Thats a cool fact but please define mass multi-coating. Was this multi-coating for civilian binoculars in big numbers or multi-coating a large number of lenses at the same time in a chamber or ???? Lee

    This is amazing Gijs although I believe the principal source of glare in Russia is Vladimir Putin. And although the Laika bins sound fascinating, Liechtenstein has never been statistically significant. Lee

    Biggest WOW binoculars you have ever looked through?

    Come on Gijs you can't fool me. Thats a picture of you not your great-grandson. I can tell by your unexpectedly youthful appearance and those cool shorts for which you are famous in Utrecht. And those Laika binoculars you are carrying are up to more than 95% made in Portugal which is quite a...

    I should explain that I have no idea of Professor van Ginkel's age but was taking up a joke posted by his fellow countryman, a certain Jan van Daalen, who is known for his quirky sense of humour. Gijs himself has a talent for comic replies so watch this space! Lee

    Yes but Gijs, now that you are 78 years old perhaps this inability to see 3D is age related. ;);) Lee

    Up here in the frozen north, as opposed to tropical Surrey, when we refer to thermals, we mean extra warm winter undergarments. It interesting that folks in Surrey need a Pulsar XQ50 to find their winter underwear when they can't remember where they put them...........:-O Lee

    Biggest WOW binoculars you have ever looked through?

    No, but a mixture of a heavy cold, a high temperature and a stiff Dutch Jenever might have contributed. Lee

    Biggest WOW binoculars you have ever looked through?

    You are failing to take into account Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle which although commonly thought to apply only to sub-atomic particles may well apply to the perception of 3D as derived from IPDs, not to mention the effect of Feynman's Sum Over All Histories. This is what happens when bins...
