For some period of time before I recieved the ZEN ED binoculars, Charles from Zen Ray and I have sent various e-mail communication back and forth. I would be absolutely dumbfounded if Kevin Purcell and probably FrankD have not done the same thing. The point is Charles is paying attention here. I think this might be a good opportunity for the BF membership to chime in with what sort of stuff isn't there we'd like. Sure, that will be a wish list far too big for any one company to attempt to bite off, especially with the economic situation being what it is. However innovation and competition is going to ultimately determine who is going to be solvent at the end of the crisis. So giving the user base what they would like might not be a bad place to go. Providing of course the world does not end on December 21, 2012, if one listens to the Mayas and others.
So here is some of my back and forth with Charles;
How about a 7x36 of the ZEN ED optical quality.
How about a 7x42 ZEN ED quality
How about offering both the current slower focus rate, as well as one with a 1.25-1.5 turn rate.
How about offering repellent coatings, either standard or optional.
How about the same optics in a standard roof prism format
There are others, but you get the drift I'm sure.
Everyons always says "I wish they's make..." Well maybe here is a chance to sound off. I know we did when the Chinese OEM Rep piped up on another thread, but he didn't stay around long.
Response from Charles: "That's a great idea."
