These seem a bargain, not a brand with which I was familiar, but floating and waterproof tics major boxes for a little row /sail boat.

Hi Robert, I haven’t found it to be a problem, but that might be because the vision in my two eyes is not the same. That said, for users who are accustomed to, and like, the center focus function, it will definitely be missed here.

No center focus sounds like a problem.

So much so that it put out a call for folks to “lend” their binoculars to the war effort. The government promised to return them at some point in the future. Well, a pair was sent back but the family swore they were not exactly the ones lent. We still have them… perhaps we might upgrade from our hundred-year-old-plus binoculars—in a decade or two. Merry Christmas to all.
