Bushnell was selling binoculars at a time when all of the new improvements on optics that we are used to had not been invented and in use on the Alphas of that time!Maven and Tract are taking advantage of these new improvements.  They would be idiots if they did not!  They certainly did not invent them.It is all part of the continuing history of binoculars.Bob</blockquote>
