    The point is not how much information there is on the NL it is to keep the thread on the topic or at least near the topic. Even though there are many reviews on the NL I still appreciate and enjoy reading new comments on it especially from new owners. I don't know about you but I read a thread...

    I don't mind when the diversions are binocular or optics related or in some ways relate to the thread but when you have post after post about the proper meaning of a word personally I find it boring and a waste of time. I never did care for English anyway. Sometimes I research a topic and Google...

    I agree a little excursion is ok but not post after post. I get tired of it honestly when you try to research a binocular by reading a thread and you get post after post of useless off-topic trivial information. It is like that on Cloudy Nights also. There will be 50 posts and maybe 5 will...

    I don't think the greatest majority of birders are interested in your educational excursion. If I wanted an English lesson I would go to class for it. I think a lot of these threads that get off-topic become a waste of time for somebody trying to get information on the NL and instead, they get a...

    Isn't this a binocular forum? Let's get back to the thread. I don't care about a complete explanation of what apodeictic means, and I am sure most birders don't either.

    I don't think you will notice much difference between the two even in low light. When you get older it is like dwever says transmission makes more difference than exit pupil because the brightness of the light cone coming into your eye from the binocular makes more difference than the diameter...

    Your chart shows the various pupil diameters of 1264 people and I see only one person in your age group that has a 6.8 mm pupil. Are you sure your mother wasn't a cat?😼

    If your eye dilate to 6.8 mm you are in the top 5% of your age group and are definitely not representative of a normal birder in that age group. Most birders in your age group are not going to realize any advantage of a 8x56 over even an 8x42. As dwever says above the transmission of a binocular...

    "If you’re a keen birder you’ll be wanting to know if these are now the finest birding binoculars in the world. Yes. Yes, they are. They are an evolution of the ELs, but better in almost every way, equal to or better than the previous best (Zeiss SFs) by a noticeable margin in every area except...
