So bottom line-is this hole a problem?

As far as I can tell the problem seems to start and end with the "hole" existing - no-one appears to have actually had a problem resulting from it..I'd draw your own conclusion.

Without a hole in your bottom, you explode.

3 3 Thanks Leif, you made me guffaw with that. Nothing like a bit of puerile humour (my favourite type) after a hard day´s work. And I nearly didn´t see your post...I had Promised Myself That I Wouldn´t Look At This Thread Anymore, but couldn´t resist. Now I´m off to drill a hole in my Leica´s, just to be on the safe side.....

Wasn't there a case of a zoo keeper who once had his swarovski's eaten by an elephant on three seperate occasions, and each time passed through the creatures digestive system and passed out the other end perfectly undamaged?
Or was that something.....??

Are you serious? If true, I think Swarovski´s marketing folk should base a whole campaign on it. "Swarovski EL´s - they´re not just Elephant-s..te, You Know..." And speaking of Swarovski folk, if they can see this thread, they must be stroking their beards and thinking, with Teutonic Analytical Logic, that we´re infected with hopelessly Anglo Saxon/Celtic surreal barminess. The Good Doctor Sigmund, apparently, singled out the Irish as one race for whom Psychoanalysis would be of no use whatsoever. He also apparently reckoned Birdwatchers, in particular, were merely indulging a suppressed desire to witness their parents doing jiggery-pokery. EL focussing bridge hole, indeed.

I believe that was a Tilley hat, Matt. Let's get serious. He wore it on his head. Besides, it's too much of a stretch to have been his Swarovski binoculars. :'D

Ian, as others have said don't be put off looking at Swarovski (or Leica) just by one persons opinion of them (in the same way that you wonldn't buy a pair fon a single online recomendation). The points that have been raised as faults on these bins are actually there by design. If you are looking at top end bins then go to a shop, try them all out and see which ones suit you.
Slightly off topic, but the world's most expensive coffee, called Kopi Luwak, is made from beans which are recovered from Civit dung. No doubt it is good to the last dropping. (Sorry.)

Let's all start drilling holes in our binoculars...I'll put my newly bought cordless drill to good use on my E2. Should I do it on the bridge too?
I don't know about that, but last year I posted on the Swaro forum an anecdote a guy related to me about Swaro's service. It seems his hunting dog chewed up his 8 x 40's. (He bought them awhile back while hunting in Alaska.) The dog destroyed the rubber covering and the eyecups. Swaro repaired them as new and returned them to him with a leather chew bone for his dog! All they charged him was postage and insurance. Now that's service!:clap:

Excellent.
Presumably what´s left, after removing the coffee beans, goes on to become Maxwell House Instant Coffee.
There is a serious problem here. What if you go on a forum of cordless drill owners, who recommend a hole in your cordless drill, based on the preoccupations of one who initially wonders if it´s a design fault. With What Will You Drill The Hole in Your Drill? :eek!:
