It's much easier to pontificate on the net—wherein you don’t have to stand by what you say. I freely admitted that production was getting better, which could lower costs on better instruments. Will you not admit that people—in general, and not on most binocular forums—are getting more accommodating of poor quality optics or more unreasonable ad verbiage concerning them? If not, then let us just agree to disagree, agreeably. We are all products of our experiences and back in “[my] day” I lived with plenty of examples that shaped mine. By the way, "my day" in optics retail and repair was in the 80s, 90s, and most of the 0s. So, unless someone is speaking from a very youthful perspective, that was not THAT long ago.:cat:Cheers,Bill</blockquote>
