Is your participation in the binocular forums to find a better glass for birding or to just find a better glass?I joined this site to better my understandings as a birder,but I find myself spending less time on the birding fundaments part of it and more on the search for optical nirvana.It's not that I've lost any fascination with birds,it's just that I've acquired a fascination with optics.I spend as much time looking at telephone wires to check for edge distortion as I do looking at birds..Not that there's anything wrong with that....
I tend to be a bit compulsive at times to the point of losing site of what the original objective was....to view birds better.I've decided to put the new el's on hold and be satisfied with the 8x32 se's Zen 7x36 and 6.5x21 Papilio's,and sell everything else.I can see this could get to be like my audio obsession......next years model will bring tears to you eyes and your wallet.I got to get a grip,more birds less binoculars....I think I can....I think I can....
Here's an interesting take on it....
