1. The simple point I make is that the new Comet 6x24 Centre focus model does not look at all like the Komz 6x24.
The disparity in the size and shape of the top plates of the prism housings of the old Komz lookalike model and the Bedell 6x24 Individual focus model that I illustrate by my photo is indeed large.
But putting the image of the top plate of the Bedell 6x24 Individual focus model up against the image of the top plate of the new Comet 6x24 Centre focus model at:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COMET-6x24m...482674?hash=item2cafd43b72:g:5IgAAOSwMtxXrZh~ ,
that is the top plate that the new Comet model has got.
2. Equally Allbinos measure the field of view of the Comet 6x24 Individual focus model in spite of its small top plate at 9.10 +/- 0.04 degrees.
And nobody claims that the Komz lookalike, in spite of a large top plate, approaches the 11.5 degree field of view of the real thing.
But it's wrong to argue when the issue is one that measurement will hopefully in due course resolve beyond controversy.
3. Aoxiang catalogues six pages of Comet models of binocular at:
https://aoxiang.en.alibaba.com/prod...html?spm=a2700.8304367.0.0.nEzUXY&isGallery=Y
The old Komz lookalike centre focus model appears under model number AX19 at Page 3. The new centre focus model appears under model number AX24 at Page 4.
We shall see in due course whether the Komz lookalike model remains in the catalogue.
