This really doesn't belong on the Swift forum, but I have a new Zeiss 8x42 FL, miles from the Swift porros I know, but it is their common thread, the ED glass, that has me really jumping up and down.My black bird thing is turkey vultures, the ones with red heads. They roost in the canyon that I am lucky enough to walk through on the way to work. How bad a back light a bino will show a good view of these birds in, who are not ugly but, to anthromorph inappropriately, have a sad, wise look, is a severe test that lovers of diffraction patterns and grid targets really ought to consider. If they could only get themselves some handy backlit vultures. I will shout it from the treetops, Elimination of CA is THE STUFF. Enjoy your ED porros. I totally dig it. Buy some more, even. But I am obviously out of money.Ron</blockquote>
