May I assume anything goes in this thread??

In this galaxy it has not yet been decided and is being hashed out right here on BirdForum. In all other galaxies it is Leica!
Hope this helps....

"... Recently, I saw a post in which an observer talked about the new binocular he had just purchased as having “super light grasp” and “incredibly sharp images.” In the course of the post this fellow shared that this was his first binocular. Thus, while both comments may have been true, one has to wonder exactly what this exuberant new observer was using as a point of reference." :cat:
Just a thought,

...so feel sure the focusing wheel issues we continue to see in top brands would be a challenge they're more than capable of overcoming.
LGM
At the risk of swerving wildly off what was clearly intended to be a light-hearted thread, I have to admit to being surprised that even top manufacturers seem to have had difficulties in this department, given that internal focusers have been incorporated into binoculars for decades. Can someone knowledgeable on this thread provide some insight as to the challenges in designing and manufacturing a trouble-free focus mechanism (leaving aside issues of "feel")? I personally have not (yet) had real issues in this department, but it seems clear that others have - and I mean genuine issues like the Noctivid being discussed in the Leica thread rather than whether a focuser feels rough or has more resistance in one direction than another.
NB. I've hunted around here and Cloudynights for "super light grasp" but can't seem to find the post WJC mentions... a shame as I'd have enjoyed reading it in full.

Sadly, you are very much mistaken! :brains:
It is widely accepted (and now undisputed, well at least after the great InterGalactic flame wars of 2345) that the best binoculars in the Galaxy are the ZORK Thagmeister eV8888 Eyeballizers !!! :king:
Fortuitously these are not only the best, but also the luckiest due to their 8.88x Area 51 magnification factor which is highly sought after by Chinese space travellers. o
Thanks to their Alienware Adaptive Technology and special Anti-Troll coatings they are also able to instantaneously morph to a superior specification and performance in response to any criticism or claims by alternate model fan boi's ....... :cat:
Let's have no further extraneous and redundant conversation on the matter!! :smoke:
Chosun :gh:

This is the best description I've seen for what was my experience of a maddening 10-15X50 that shall remain nameless:
"Inordinate lost motion"

Hi LGM:
Your first problem was a ZOOM mechanism, not a focus mechanism. See part 1 attached. :cat:
Bill
Thank you Bill but they are not "zoom" as ***** are keen to point out but rather two magnifications in one bino.
It was the overtravel and slop in the primary focusing wheel that I felt your description captured so well.
LGM
Are you talking about the Duovid!?
Bill
I may not use the L word but yes!
LGM
Zarquon's Knees CJ!
You are so behind the times. Thagmeister has already replaced the eV8888 via a wormhole from the future with the DOJ Heisenberger. DOJ stands for Day of Judgement and the unsettling clarity of vision that comes to us all on that day, but the biggest feature is its Heisenberg Uncertain Magnification Generator. The HUMG (which oddly enough is pronounced 'widget' by the Thagmeisters) endows this device with a series of magnifications from zero all the way to just short of infinity all at the same time, and only adopts the magnification of your choice at the instant you look through it and it scans your underlying brain emissions thus revealing your preference.
Those without brain emissions, or who dither over what magnification they prefer, need not bother saving up for this staggering new instrument as it won't work for them. I say staggering because it weighs around 50kg (depending on the gravitational field of your planet) and is enough to give any sentient species the 'staggers'.
The only problem with this epoch-defining bino is that the focus is harder to move in one direction than the other and squeaks a bit.
Still you can't have everything.
Thank you and good night.
