Where's your adventure spirit Bill and your chirpy cheerfulness?I'm off out to do a short test and see if my effort is any good. If it isn't I can just bin them as I've had enough but I may just have got it sorted or they may do for a few spare parts or I could see if I could jam the remaining clean prism into my 6x16 monocular to give it a turbo boost. The possibilities....Actually I messed about swopping the objectives and it made no difference so I contacted Pentax again or rather their service contractor which they referred me to. I then realigned the prisms as I had described way back and this time took the bins outside to collimate them and I seemed to get a good result with the sharpness returning to the right side of the bins and I even seemed to get a vast improvement in glare resistance performance as these bins had been really bad with sun before but this time much much better so I'll go for a little trial and hope they continue to give a good impression.Took them out earlier before I worked on them again and tried them on the way to the supermarket and so so thoughts on them then but I let a worker in the supermarket try them breifly and his comment was " wow very high magnification", lol. Yes 8x.Going to take my 8x20 monc along also as I reconfigured the eyelenses in that a few days ago so will see how that goes.</blockquote>
