Uhh...probably not. I would be pi :C ed. But if you otherwise like the binoculars...
Can you retun them and get a Leica or Svaro?
Maybe you can sell them and replace them with Leica. You might loose $$$ in this deal.
There may be a behavioral correction to that problem though. It may take a while to get used to, but how about checking that focus all the time? Before you know it will become an automatic subconsient move that you do with a finger from time to time. I have never handled the new Zeiss binoiculars, but maybe a finger push and/or check move may be ok. I hunt sometimes, or shoot targets, and my finger just goes and checks the safety on the firearm all the time, without me even thinking about it. Similarly, i always keep the muzzle of the firearm pointed towards the sky, but i don't think about this anymore. You get my drift...
This discussion really narrows my choice down. I will buy a pair this year (hopefully soon, as i will start surveying sparrows in New Mexico in April), and i was thinking of trying 10X42 Zeiss FL, 10x42 Ultravid, 10x42 EL, and 8.5x42 EL. I guess Zeiss is out now.
What in the world is going on at Zeiss? You would think that those suckers designing the binoculars would actually use them and try them!
