Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alexis Powell" data-source="post: 3186188" data-attributes="member: 5327">Is the point of your post to cast spite at individual consumers who don't like the sometimes inconsistent focus smoothness, or rolling ball, or the "Absam ring" by telling them that they shouldn't complain about these things because Swarovski doesn't care since the majority of buyers aren't bothered or are willing to put up with less than perfection?  I don't get it.  Bully for you if you are satisfied with the SV.  But, for example, as someone who knows several enthusiastic birders with IPD under 56 mm, I will continue to complain that the SV, like most bins, does not work for them. We will complain even though such potential customers only represent a few percent (at most) of the potential market. Someone at Zeiss decided to take this minority concern seriously, so we have some hope that Swarovski and other manufacturers will too. I would expect most other potential consumers to do the same when it comes to advocating for what they want or need. They won't back down because for them these are problems. It doesn't matter to them that others do not have the same troubles. Go use your SV in peace and leave others to their suffering, no need to add insult to injury.    <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> --AP</blockquote>
