Why? I mean why do I feel I need to know my MHG is up there with the big guns. I mean it's light (weight) for an 8x42, has the FOV of a lighthouse, I'm happily immune to negligible CA, and the focuser is silky smooth. I'm starting to feel like the guy who leaves the car dealers with a brand new, top of the shop, Range Rover, only to feel cheapened because he sees someone drive past in a Bentley.Maybe it's my own inadequacies as a birdwatcher I'm trying to suppress. A case of 'If only I had a Noctovid, I'd have nailed that little warbler that just went flitting through those branches'.'Binocular Doubt', it can really screw you up.</blockquote>
