Dennis, With regard to the warranty, the most important issue for US buyers is whether or not they were imported through SONA. So, the vendor should be asked to verify that prior to purchase. Ed -

Jan, Hmmm. I think the way it works must be that the CL30 has very good control of spherical aberration at the exit pupil, which is definitely not a strong point for the Swaro 8x30 WB. If fact, quite to the contrary, it's a definite problem. Ed -

Just to get a thought in edgewise. Here is the situation. The first chart depicts normal (unaided) eye-head motion limits related to the visual field. The three panels show that eye rotation alone has a max of 35º from center, the head alone has a 60º max from center, and the eye-head... -

See my comments on this Linet binocular dating back to 2012, post #23. You can believe what you wish but please don't lecture. CN reviews generally show the real field angle to be ~.5º less than advertised on the cover plate, but that's probably based on personal astro measurements. For... -

To those with such concerns, apprehensions or expectations, the edges will not disappear. Thin lens approximations of the 'apparent' fields for the new series are: 72º, 78º, and 78º for the 8x, 10x, and 12x models, respectfully. This is far smaller than the 96º apparent field of the Linet 8x40... -

Does anyone know the eye relief specs for the new models? Do they use field flattener lenses? Ed
