Just an observation.
I am getting ready to put some of my never used (by me), but taken in trade for optical work, binoculars on eBay and just went through 30 of them. I found I had 4 models from Asahi Pentax ALL OF WHICH were either in collimation or were EASILY within my range of spatial accommodation, although they were 40+ years old.
I’ll bet that when some of the newer instruments garnering so much attention these days are that old they will have been in a land fill for 20 years.
Ah, but I’m just an old guy remembering when service departments were only occasionally needed. :cat:
