But I doubt that I can get use to using the wrong finger to focus with, it feel very misplaced."Dennis says:"The focus actually works quite well on the Swarovski 8x30 SLC because the binoculars balance so well with the focus there"       I was wondering why I like the focuser at the front side on my Swaro 7x30 SLC. I just tried three binoculars one handed either hand and using just one hand and with the Swarovski 7x30 SLC  I use my strong pointing finger to help hold the binocular and I always focus with ring finger and have never used my pinky finger. If using both hands the same and if I need to remove one hand for what ever reason it is still comfortable to use. I tried the same thing with my Nikon 8x32 LX and using the binocular one handed was uncomfortable, my strong pointing finger could no longer help except while using two handed. I also tried this with a Zen-Ray ED 7x36 and while the focuser is not nearly as smooth/easy to use than either of the other two, it was somewhat better than the Nikon 8x32 LX. I think some of this was because I could wrap my fingers around the open bridge design. Now I am sure people ask why this is important to me, well I might have something in my left or right hand when I want to  use this binocular.      So I guess I agree with Dennis about balance in the SLC 30mm series binoculars.Having said all this I agree with Ron,Kevin and Ceasar about the Trinovid as long as there is a Passport warranty.Regards,Steve</blockquote>
