[QUOTE="Mountainsheep, post: 116108, member: 5875"] Is it common practice for a merchant to allow a customer to test and compare the binos outside? Most of the privately owned shops I' have visited haven't had the high end glass in stock, and the big retailers don't appear too keen on having me wander away from the optics counter (they don't even allow you to have more than one pair from behind the counter). One store even has its $300 - $500 glasses on leashes that are so short you have to put your elbows on the counter to look through them. And oh-yeah, you guys are right-on about the eyes. I've been staring at a computer screen for the last couple of years and I'm starting to notice some eye fatigue. I recently had my vision tested and I am still ok, but my older brother keeps teasing me that loss of hair & vision is just around the corner. So not only am I upgrading my optics, I'm getting out from behind this desk & heading back into the "Wild Blue Yonder". I want to keep myself as physically young as I am mentally immature. I want to make sure I only need the optics for glassing canyons; not reading menus [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thanks, Dave [/QUOTE]
