Dunno, but I assume some of you have already seen this. Although not specifically discussing binoculars, I find this link to be worth considering and not getting deeply buried in a thread about a specific binocular model.
Anyhow, while this link is slightly off-topic, the issue is being touched now and then in a lot of the threads.
A word of warning - after watching this, some of us may decide to follow Martin Fagg's example and leave the treadmill of purchasing new and better optics.
