Dioptric correction range of Canon IS bins (1 Viewer)

I do not know if anybody at Canon reads these posts but I'll take my chance: the current dioptric compensation range of +/-3 puts off quite a few users; make it +/-4 as for many other good bins brands!

P.S. I hope that posting this suggestion in a new thread might increase its chance of being seen by somebody from Canon....but I may well be wrong....

It's a long shot I suppose! ;)

Hi HN:

It looked like a long shot indeed, but Canon has sent me an email in which they said that they will consider it....

Best, Peter
 
Peter,

Wow, you got a response!

That would be an excellent improvement indeed. Now that you have a channel open, could you suggest other improvements to Canon as well?

Hi Kimmo:

I have also suggested non-Klingon eyecups for the 10x42L
(curiously Canon engineers claim the eyecups of the 10x42 were designed for humans, personally I am unsure...) and a more easily accessible IS button. While Canon answer was prompt and very polite I am sure they meant to say they will consider these suggestions but will implement only those that will appeal to many more people than just me....

Cheers,
Peter.

If they do that I'll get a 10x42 pretty quick. +/-3 diopters is a bad joke.
