Well I did it and mine are a tad bit harder to turn, but I can manage it with one finger (index) no problem! Maybe you guys are just weak!
:-O Try the freezer.....:-C

Chasing warblers at 20 deg F would be difficult. (In my neck of the woods that's not an issue @ 20degF!)
But chasing sparrows is very similar (high species diversity + complex physical environment = lots of quick views at varying distance), and is a real possibility at those temps in the midwestern states.

Speaking of focus, just thought i would mention that my pair of Pentax Papilio 8.5x21 maintain a focus movement that is both smooth and of consistent speed, from 95 through -5 degrees F.
Yes.
You sit there chanting the doxology of things beyond your grasp looking at your dogs nose!

I had some Pentax Papilio 8.5x21's for awhile....
Exactly my feelings on them.
Actually you called them "junk" on Amazon.
Yes. That's pretty much my opinion on them. I didn't think to much of them. For looking at bugs maybe but not birding. They are built pretty cheap too. They are dim and I didn't think they were that sharp.
