[QUOTE="OPTIC_NUT, post: 3169314, member: 121951"] " So, how does one define design? " Specifying all the glass elements, their composition, coatings, mechanical positions and movements, and the materials and tolerances for the physical parts. Even the grease. Once that's done, though, different places can make that design and dress it externally. Your house can have all kinds of variations, but not binonoculars: this is an instrument. A better analogy is ... different companies construct the standardized stock car engine, frame, and pieces to spec and then decorate differently. Many things are strictly controlled so NASCAR racers pit their skill and quality control against each other. Designs can get messed up, cheated on, and bothched....that's part of vendor control and quality control. I found a tiny pinky fingerprint from a child on a new but fuzzy monocular once...that was depressing. [/QUOTE]
