Message: <blockquote data-quote="steve@37n84w" data-source="post: 2734752" data-attributes="member: 93669">As I mentioned in an earlier post I was a little suspect of the Geovid based on the added circuitry for the range finder and my intended use for the Geovid. I knew it would be my "truck" binocular and left out in all temperature extremes because I would use it on the job for range estimation. I am also an avid archery hunter and since my hunting is usually limited to days we are "rained out" at work I knew the Geovid would constantly be subject to inclement weather in pursuit of whitetail deer. Having purchased the Geovid from B&H and knowing there would be no return problem if a problem developed AND knowing the type of use I planned for the Geovid the first thing I did after a quick glance through it was to submerge it in the kitchen sink for a 30 minute bath. It passed my impromptu test with flying colors and hasn't let me down in three years of hard use in often inclement weather. Of course all this means is that my particular Geovid is sealed well but then again maybe I'm lucky in binoculars. My original EDG 1 (7x42) has never had a hint of a diopter problem and I've purchased over thirty vintage binos from ebay and only had a collimation problem with one.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Steve</blockquote>
