If only I could convince somebody (Swift are you listening) to make binoculars to my specs...
8.5x magnification
32-35mm objectives
~370 or better FOV
under 10' close focus
fully multi, phase corrected, wp, etc.
My bet is that 8.5x mids are not too far off.
Or how about that Nikon 8.5 x 35 SE (That would get my money.)
Greetings!
I would want a lightweight (28 oz. or less) version of a Leica Duovid, with 7x and 11x as the two magnifications and 46mm objective lenses. If this were available, I'd sell all of my other binoculars if that's what it took to afford them.
Oh yeah... also waterproof Nikon 8x32 SE's.
Best wishes,
Bawko
Easy, a Superior 10x42 SLC that weighs 4 oz. less and focuses 4 ft. closer.
PS. ... with a drop in eyeglass prescription at the ocular.
