Large Budget Bino tests - and question for you guy

Posted By Mark Branch
I believe that alot of us would be interested in a large Bino with that performance in that price range. Astigmatism for me is not a problem and the no plastic constrution is a plus. If weight becomes a problem, I would get a mount. Maybe you could make a mount available as an option.

Recoating AP lenses

Posted By Mark Branch
Hi Phillip
Damage severe enough to cause decrease in the quality of the image,not just cosmetic.Coatings must be polished off and then reapplied. This in itself changes the lens configuration.Its not something you would do on a whim.

TRIPODS & RUST

Posted By Mark Branch
Ivan
Try a product called POR 15. It`s a semi-black color.
The product actually sticks better to rust than bare metal.If you want to top coat with another color you must dust it while it is still has a tack.Once dry nothing will stick to it.I painted a rusty battery box with it 6 years ago and no rust has bled thru. grin
Hope this helps
