Post 17, Gilmore Girl:
Meopta added these "bumps" (they're not elevated, it's only another material) because the armouring would otherwise be slippery when there's rain or one's hands are sweaty. If you have the binoculars in the hand, they don't bother at all.
The 42's of the Meostar line are so heavy because they have a large prism (as I've read the same as the 50's). This has the advantage that glare and reflections control of the Meostars is top of the line. The revision of the Meostar that is intended perhaps for next year will present a reduction in weight though.
I hope that the 7x42 will not be discontinued - I love mine and would buy instantly also a revised one with HD glasses with less chromatic aberration.
Hi Mac,
I read here on BF I believe that the new Meostar line won't include 7x.
I can't remember who mentioned it.
Maybe someone could confirm this.
