Sorry for going off the topic ....BUT.... Tenex can you tell me how do you find the focuser on the K. Helia S? better, smoother or the opposite? Could you compare it directly to EL or SF focuser?EL, NL... unless you must have that flat field, it's still worth considering the classic SLC (HD or WB) 10x42, now available new as "Kahles Helia S", or you can pick up a used SLC which Swaro will refurbish as needed (as I did), either way for around $1300-1400. A gorgeous binocular.
