Actually it's my neighbor that's really ugly. And politics.
Well then don't use any of your optics to look at him/her.

I don't get this ugly stuff. This must just be a matter of tradition or something. They look cool to me. The only bins that look ugly to me are the old Porros. I keep envisioning some Nazi General holding one and can't get that image out of my head.
As for ugly, I can't think of a truly ugly looking binocular.

I won't, 1x ugly is bad enough.:eek!:
As far as I know the focus overtravel can be adjusted. I talked to Sightron a while back and asked them about focus adjustments regarding cold weather stiffness, and happened to ask them about focus overtravel as well. The reply was basically yes, that was a simple enough warranty covered issue. ...............
The one area that I don't the Sightron 8x42s compete with the ED3s is in apparent brightness. Assuming silver vs dielectric here. In terms of apparent brightness I would rate them at the level of something like the Nikon Monarch (original, not updated) .
Ok. I'm more concerned with low light performance, dusk and dawn situations. I guess it's overall % of light transmission I'm after. Allbinos.com shows 90% light transmission for the Vixon 8x32, so if the Sightron bins have similar glass.
So, keep that in mind if you want to use the binocular without eyeglasses and your left eye requires correction. You may not have enough focus adjustment,
But if I wear my glasses 100% of the time there would be no issue . . . ?
