1.002X OCA

It looks like we, the bino users, win again. I've just noticed
that Siebert Optics, {Binoveiwer Classifieds}, has come out with a new 1.002X OCA for reflectors and refractors. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better we get another lower power option for binviewing.

Hi Glen. Is this the same or similar item that Harry talks about in this post? I don't want to misquote so here it is in it's entirety.


"I had a unit similar to this on my web site about 3 months ago and have just taken it off not too long ago. It was a 1.05x. I rarely sold them. And mine was too long (4"+) and I found they stuck a little into the optical path. My unit required entirely too much intravel. My unit required a full inch of intravel. I may put it back on my web site just to offer it as an alternative. But I will probably recommend people stick with my 1.3x unless the lower mag is an absolute must. I never made it down to 1.0x although I was extremely close. I found the closer you got to 1x the harder it was to squeeze optical quality out of the unit.

If it is, he doesn't seem too fond of his unit.
