In the red,green and blue corner representing optics, real science and common sense is the tag team of Holger Merlitz and Henry Link. Holger is a professor of Theoretical Physics and Astro Physics, with a long record of reviewing Binoculars for over a decade. Henry is the one of the most respected optics experts in Birdforum, with many published reviews over a decade. He is also polite to a fault.In the translucent and/or transparent corner representing the "common man" is RATHAUS! He is more than a match for the two nerds. He owns countless pairs of expensive binoculars and spends endless time watching the world pass by. The only data he provides in his well written comments is that his vision is 20/15. He was the first to observe the rare optical phenomenon of a strand of spider web through his Habicht porro. Scientists speculate that this could be the elusive proof of String theory. He is also from a place where the North star is not visible in the night sky and where the water in a drain spins counterclockwise.Ok! Thats enough and let's start. Gentlemen, shake hands and let's have a clean fight.</blockquote>
