Message: <blockquote data-quote="FrankD" data-source="post: 1374001" data-attributes="member: 18544">I really think the issue of the focus stiffness can depend alot on the individual unit. I recently managed to pick up a second pair of Celestron Ultima DXs. This particular unit has a stiffer focus than the previous unit I owned. The Bushnell Legend porro I currently have is much smoother in its focusing speed and tension.My opinion thus far on the Legend porros has been extremely positive. In truth I have yet to find something I do not like about them. The image quality is way above what I expected from a $100 Bushnell product. I posted this on another thread but I will retype it here. I took the Legend porros out this past Sunday along with my Meopta Meostars for a little birding excursion. Surprisingly I ended up using the Legends about 95% of the time. I was standing next to birders sportin' Swaro ELs and I, honestly, did not feel like I was missing a single thing with the Legend porros.Did I just say I was content totin' a pair of Bushnells instead of something alot more expensive?Hmm. It is getting mighty cold outside.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />You know that little wink that all of the Nikon SE 8x32 owners give to each other when they are standing next to other guys using the much more expensive roofs? I think we need to start a little nod or something for those of us using the Legend porro....seriously, I am not kidding.</blockquote>
