But you do raise an interesting point. I do like the ergonomics of the Bushnell Discoverer 7x42. It's another bin (like the Pentax HS) that seems to have all the curves in the right places. My hand fits it very naturally and does hit any edges. Very pleasant. I'd say this was the second most ergonomic of the bins I have. But if you were to look at it, unlike say the "odd looking" Pentax bins, the Discoverer looks rather anonymous.In fact when I got this bin from Frank I had a couple of other more expensive and clearly better optically bins that didn't get much use for quite a while. I really liked the feel and shape of the bin. And the 7x magnification helped too.Curious how some features outweigh other (usually optical) features sometimes.But if there are any bin designers out there reading this, I hope you have check out these bins. Optically excellent and great ergonomics makes a classic bin.</blockquote>
