Hi Spartan J.,
“BILL ,This is what happens when your brain is as old as your old eyes.”
About 10 years ago, I decided I was going to live forever. AND ... so far, so good!
“My 7x50'S diopter setting has been in the same location sense 1989 .”
If that is so, it can mean only 2 things:
1) You only look at objects a certain distance from you. Or,
2) You are pleased with a view that is far inferior to what it should be.
Steiner started that “auto-focus” fraud back in the 80s, which dominated the 90s. But, there are no “auto-focus” binoculars, except for those who know nothing about optics but believe everything they read.
“what diopter system in roof binoculars is the most reliable with locking or without ?”
This is a non-issue; if it works, it works. I realize bino forums are made up largely by those who spend their time trying to stack BBs. Don’t let yourself get sucked into that. “Ultracrepidarian” is a great word and applies here in spades. :cat:
Cheers and good hunting,
Bill
