C (Quote)[The 7x36 both you and NDHunter/Farmboy1 had were two binoculars he did dissect piece by piece looking for what was wrong and so he would have some basis to talk to the factory other than "Here please fix these for me.  Fireform and NDHunter say these things stink".Steve C:I see you've included me in the discussion of the Zen Ray 7x36 ED2.First off I was one who pointed out the problem that I saw with the glare,flare, problem with edges, or whatever and brought it out to this Forum.Another reviewer, Holger Merlitz, did a formal review of the optic, also clearlybrought out the same observation.The company also acknowledged to me that they had seen things similar.Now it seems you are saying that I used the word "stink" in my comments and that is not the case.What you may have missed here or have overlooked is that the company,did a redesign, by adding a baffle, to help correct this condition.Be careful in your comments here as this was not proper. :smoke:You should be grateful to reviewers that may point out some deficienciesin their observations.I commended Zen Ray in a previous post for the redesign.Jerry</blockquote>
