edz - Thanks for the info. As usual, on CN, you always seem to learn something new on each visit. Years ago when I bought a pair of 10x50s on sale at a department store, one of the objectives were loose (locking ring) but a quick adjustment made them good to go. My friend was interested in getting the same model on sale and did so. Sure enough, the objectives were out of alignment and after another quick adjusting, they too were good afterwards.
Today? No more buy, bring home and test, unless a no questions asked return policy is in effect!
I was always satisfied with the binos I had bought over the years but with the info in this forum? Now I'm seeing more and more defects in design and alignment right from the factory but so far, my present binos seem to be good enough for my observing. Sometimes more knowledge can be a mixed blessing indeed! Mr Q
