You're welcome. But, haven't you guys learned not to offer too much encouragement to a lunatic? 
Cheers,
Bill

Thanks for asking. We visit this issue about once a month or so. One of my less pleasant job.

When I was talking about the never ending line of repeated questions--and how frustrating it can be, especially when you have poured out your soul in hundreds of words to prevent it--I did not excuse myself.
Sorry, EdZ.

hi John;
my first post. am not a star-gazer, but do have Swift 10x50s as well as several high end Nikons. The Swift 10x50s have served me well for many years, and though I keep them in a case all the time, they are in my pickup every day and are subject to plenty of dust and rough pasture roads. I would just as soon use them as my 12x50se. The diopter did come loose several years ago and Swift fixed them for very little....shipping cost I think. . There are quite a few Swift binos in our household as we are birders.
Have really enjoyed reading the posts here and I feel like a little league bench warmer among World Series veterans, so don't expect anything more than subjective opinions from me.

Scanning through a backlog of posts here after 5 nights away , I thought someone asked for information about the Swift Kestrel 10 x 50.
Just in case it was missed , I posted a review of the model about a year ago to the CN bino mini -review section.
