Hi,
Here's a cool website that I've been visiting for years.
https://camerasize.com
Perhaps folks in the binocular/scope forums are aware of it and for those who aren't, as the sites name suggests it's an interactive camera size comparison site. It allows you to pick camera models and compare sizes and it's understandably popular amongst the camera geek crowd.
It would be great to have something similar dedicated to binoculars and dare I dream, even scopes. Yes, currently I stare at the binocular comparison photos people post here (thanks Chuck and all) and yes I read the specs, get out the tape measure and do little 1:1 drawings but an interactive comparison tool would way more fun and imediate.
I've dropped a line to the developer/owner of the website with a suggestion he consider including binoculars. He has his software and website templates set up and active, all he would have to do is input binocular images and measurements instead of cameras. Its way more complicated than that of course but I await his reply nonetheless.
My dance card is full these days otherwise I'd jump on this right now if he declines. Maybe one of the vaunted optics review sites?
Any thoughts? Is this something people would use or is it just me?
Cheers,
Bryan
