Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steve C" data-source="post: 1747090" data-attributes="member: 56622">NDI meant nothing derogatory to you by that post.  I simply meant to state that yours and Fireform's binoculars were disassembled by Zen Ray.  It was Fireform's contention they have no ability to do that, and simply sent them back to China for a replacement, based on no other knowledge than the statement that a couple of customers didn't like them.  My choice of adjective may have been a bit colorful, so for that and including mention of your binocular, I offer an apology.  The reason they took those two apart was that he took both of you at your word and went looking for the problem.  Both of your descriptions were concise an to the point and you carried the day there.  I am very aware you were the first one to jump on the flare problem.  To you and those who did, the rest of us probably should say thanks.  Otherwise the problem might have gone on far longer than it did. Holger Merlitz also observed in an update to the same review, that the problem was essentially removed by the fix.  Yes, it was a slight design change.  I never said otherwise.  Point is, ZR took steps to fix it.  I suppose we can both agree to commend them on that action (I hope).</blockquote>
