edz - Since two of these pairs have been sold several years ago, all I can remember is that one was a Focal (?) 20x60 and the other pair (?), both bought at a department store chain, probably K-Mart.
The other two I presently have are a Focal 10x50 and Orion (Little Giant) 10x70. The present 10x50s did need some objective adjustment (metal locking rings) but the Orions, having no problems, have not been attempted to be adjusted so they may have cemented rings but they look/feel like metal.
The tutorials at the head of this forum are very informative and I learned a lot from them. It seems that these four binos are indeed the exception to the rule as far as objective locking rings go. This would explain why the "tip" wasn't mentioned in the tutorials. Thanks for the info and enjoy reading this forum, since I augment my scope observing with bino observing. Mr Q
