    Curio Whoopsie!

    I think it is incorrect. From what we can see in the image attached to post #1, the focus wheel is screwed to what you call ""ribbed" brass stem", and everything is held in place by a "threadlocking" paste, or glue, if you want call it so

    Curio Whoopsie!

    Almost all pocket binoculars are 8x or 10x, so this is nothing new.

    Curio Whoopsie!

    I don't think they use glue, it's more likely that they use threadlocker to be able to carry out maintenance work easily. The fact is that if you force the rotation counterclockwise the threadlocker could fail. A fixing allen screw would have been safer even if unsightly. No problem with my...

    Curio Whoopsie!

    I see a thread on the black pin that can be seen where the focus knob should be. So that knob isn’t just glued on.

    I would remove that "quite" to say the optical quality is really good

    New Retrovid 7x35

    I took mine online from APM web shop, and I see that Astroshop also sells them online. I really can't say which other binoculars shop might have them available

    APM Telescopes Release Of The APM MS 6x30 Porro Prism Binocular

    I couldn't resist, so I tested my hypothesis and it works. I unscrewed the three screws without removing them completely, and I found that in this way it is possible to remove the diopter adjustment ring. Then I raised it a few millimeters and repositioned it so as to make the reference notch...

    APM Telescopes Release Of The APM MS 6x30 Porro Prism Binocular

    Maybe it is a fairly simple issue to fix. If we remove the rubber hood of the right eyepiece we will discover three small screws which I suppose are used to lock the diopter adjustment ring. It would probably be enough to loosen those screws to reposition the reference setting in the center...

    APM Telescopes Release Of The APM MS 6x30 Porro Prism Binocular

    I find it rather unusual that the same user has had the same problem with other APM binoculars. Maybe it's just a coincidence or maybe that user makes some mistake in diopter calibration. Since these binoculars are 6x, they have a great depth of focus so it is not easy to adjust the right...

    I got mine about a week ago, and I am very impressed by the definition and transparency of the optics, as well as by the excellent 3D of the vision

    APM Telescopes Release Of The APM MS 6x30 Porro Prism Binocular

    The binoculars are now available for immediate delivery on the APM and Astroshop websites. This morning I received an email from M.Ludes informing me of availability and inviting me to place the order. The truth, however, is that now I no longer know if I want to buy it or not ...

    I noticed there is only one piece in stock in the APM store: maybe the sample, or the last one from the first batch?

    ~6.5 power binoculars?

    I think there will be no deliveries in August and maybe not even until the end of the year
