[QUOTE="OPTIC_NUT, post: 3212274, member: 121951"] I understand the 'flimsy eyepiece bridge' bit. I actually repaired it in 2 of the 4 Celestrons I bought at buydig. Both the design and assembly were off. It might have been a transient problem....there are fewer 1 and 2 star reviews now than in 2012-2013. I'm looking through the Barskas and tugging the focuser arms now, and the Celestron too... they don't feel chintzsy to me... Granted, the Leupold is a bit more solid. Very tight to move, sometimes. I have a hard time noticing a few percent less light. It all comes from China, so there are ups and downs. The stiction and blackouts on the 6x30 Yosemites bugged me so I let them go. Same issues in the 8x30s, but not as bad. As mentioned, stiff focusing is a bigger issue for kids. [/QUOTE]
