I'd like to see a revival of that configuration and the 7x35. What struck me as odd were the ergonomics. The flat part of the prism housing is on TOP rather than the bottom. I like the flat part on the bottom for better thumb support. The best in this regard was the CZJ 8x50 Octarem, whose prism housings were flat as a board and gave such good thumb support (no matter how I positioned my thumbs) along with the excellent balance that it made the bins feel a lot lighter than they actually were, which was a very good thing since the Octarem weighed over 40 oz. Does the print on the objective rings scatter light into the tubes? I also wondered this about the with new Theron Questa La Vista.Brock</blockquote>
