Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alexis Powell" data-source="post: 3411530" data-attributes="member: 5327">Although I won't argue that the venerable 7x42 has all the virtues of the latest glass, I must point out that if bins of the OP were new less than 20 years ago they are a far better bin than the vintage you are referencing, and they are really not terribly far in performance from the latest and greatest. The OP's bins should be BGATP* or "Classic" edition, with phase coating and better multicoating than those produced in the 1970s and most of the 1980s. --AP</blockquote>
