- Reduce the overall weight of the chassis by housing the optics in a polycarbonate body. Better still, a magnesium alloy chassis would offer greater ruggedness and a reduced overall weight. These days, magnesium alloy is not confined to high-end models but is now being offered even on budget-priced instruments.
- The focus wheel could be tuned better. Some owners have complained that there is some slack in the focuser, while others have noted its overly stiff tension. Improving this important ergonomic feature will greatly improve its enjoyability.
my problem here is they do not build what I want , they build something, send it to me for testing and I say I like this and do not like that. Then they try to make things better what I do not like, but they do not agree to rebuild it total, because they spend already too much money on tooling the prototype
Could it be that the lengthy Open Letter by „Neil English PhD“ has less to do with customer feedback to Kevin, and more with promoting Neil‘s own new book ?? 🤔🤔🤔
I kind of agree with most of what Neil is saying, those improvements would make a much better binocular. As far as promoting one of his new books, this is a lot of reading, on his own website before we get to the end where his book is mentioned. In any event , I’ve preordered. 😝.Could it be that the lengthy Open Letter by „Neil English PhD“ has less to do with customer feedback to Kevin, and more with promoting Neil‘s own new book ?? 🤔🤔🤔
The eye cups diameters are too big on the Oberwerk SE 8x32 and SE 12x50. I tried them both, and they almost feel like the Canon 10x42 IS-L eye cups, which are way too large and uncomfortable for most people's eye sockets.Those eyecup diameters surely were not made for deep set eyes, but for more of a flat eye structured face.
The Oberwerk SE is a good binocular for the price, but it is not as good a $1000 binocular optically or build quality wise. The deal killer with them is their big, uncomfortable hard eye cups that won't fit a lot of peoples eye sockets and are loose and won't stay in position.Please help me understand:
This binocular is very good for the price (and a few years warranty) OR it is good as an 1000USD binocular? Thanks.
