This is a heck of a binocular and it deserves a good review.  I tried to be as straight forward, objective and realistic as I could, but I see there is no way I'll escape the glowing thing <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />.</blockquote>
