Message: <blockquote data-quote="ronh" data-source="post: 1875609" data-attributes="member: 55514">Sancho's antics with the SV, first proudly extolling its greatness, then trying to sell it, and now mothballing it, are all the more amusing to me because I have been down a similar road with my Zeiss FL. At least I'm not alone. Since getting a 6x30 Fujinon, that's just about all I ever use.Of course the FMTR suffers the great flaw of IF, but no IF could be easier to work than a little 6x, and it's actually kind of fun. Similarly, Sancho's Ell suffers the great flaw of not being waterproof, nor probably even quite bombproof.It all makes the whole alpha roof trip seem sort of nutty though, like owning a Rolls for a weekly run for groceries and beer. I'll keep practicing focusing, Sancho, you stay out of combat/disaster situations, and we'll still get the views, right?Ron</blockquote>
