Message: <blockquote data-quote="ceasar" data-source="post: 2709472" data-attributes="member: 26155">Brock,I would not describe my 32mm LX Ls as "short, narrow bins."  They are big compared to others I have seen and used and certainly heavier.  The double hinged variety of 32mms so popular now are by necessity longer than normal to accommodate their supernumerary hinge.  Otherwise there would be no room inside for most large mens fingers to fit between them.Your picture is deceptive because it emphasizes the unnatural lengths of your middle and ring fingers.  My index finger uses up as much space on the focus wheel as yours does but not my 3rd and 4th digits and I require XXL gloves because of the large size of my palms.And the design of the LX L fits comfortably in the web between my thumb and forefinger so that thumb indentations are not necessary for me.  All in all, I find it to be a really well designed binocular.Bob</blockquote>
