    MHG - Beginning or end

    I suppose that if there are enough new models left in stock it might be more cost effective to replace one rather than have technicians drop what they are doing and repair the problem. After they get enough of them to sit down and fix them all they end up on the big internet outlet at discount...

    Tm, You write: "I agree the specifications of the MHG 8x42 almost appear to offer some of the advantages of a 8x32 mid-size whilst at the same time surpassing or at least matching many of those available in the 8x42 format. All else being equal, if the optical quality is even approaching...

    Hi TM, Your Porro prism binocular is designed to have focus beyond infinity because, if you are nearsighted, you will be able use it without wearing your spectacles. The more severely near sighted you are the more focus past infinity you will require and the more range your diopter will...
