There is no marketing smokescreen here (unlike the instrument's name SF for smart focus, which is mostly hot air) as anyone who has seen the cutaway sectioned optical tubes (illustrated on BF with photos) can verify.  Sorry to hear about the trouble your shoulder is giving you what with having to move your fingers an inch. Have you tried Pilates?Meanwhile your 9x50 is an interesting proposition and although a few years back the carbon body might have been too expensive, I keep reading about new and cheaper ways to manufacture carbon products including recycling off-cuts from bigger products.As for my *ss smartin' it don't get smartin' from smart *ss remarks LOL, but I am smilin' at your fan-gurl love-in with HT-glass and FL-glass and all that stuff. Seems like the Zeiss marketing dept doesn't only blow hot air :king:Lee</blockquote>
