    No Edwin. See Troubador's posts #26 and 28 as Moderator. The BF management have decided to keep it open. It becomes a historical footnote as for other now defunct brands. Zen-Ray may or may not resurrect in some form, but for owners or potential purchasers of the products the sub-forum is still...

    HOLY SMOKES !!! :eek!::eek!: :smoke: That is amazing. That has got to be below total business cost (including such things as ongoing funding ROI etc) , perhaps clearing out a large superceded production batch or something? I hope plenty of folk got onto that - would be great for gifting...

    Steve/Frank might be better placed to speak to the ED2 evolution (I know at least the dielectric mirror coatings were improved from 2 -> 3), but as far as the ED3/Legend M optical standpoint goes there is zero difference. FOV, curvature, pincushion, etc are IDENTICAL in the ED3 and Legend M...

    Jerry, the Bushnell Legend M has identical optics and virtually mechanics too, with the Zen-Ray ED3. They are packaged in an ever so slightly different chassis. I find both models exhibit exactly the same types of issues over the same spectrum of tolerances as each other. For me, I find the...

    BC, you are right - customers could have been treated better, and a little extra effort (information) in this regard could have gone a long way. The road to hell can sometimes be paved with good intentions, and sometimes people just get overwhelmed whilst doing their best ...... Perhaps that's...

    +1 :t: Very well said Steve :t: I will never forget the look of utter astonishment on the face of a senior international Swarovski figure upon looking through the Zen 8x43 ED3's for the first time .... you know they are good when they can totally impress people of such calibre, at 1/5th the...

    Why on earth would this sub forum be dropped !?!! :brains: Zen-Ray may be defunct temporarily (permanently?) , and have disappeared as paid banner advertisements, but newsflash! Zen products live on in the field as well as ever as BC has reminded us :t: The guts of the Zens also live on in...

    My guess? Two things:- 1. Greater than tolerable reject rates across all products (earlier ones worse than later ones), and attendant returns, repairs, replacements ate excessively into customer service resources and business profits. The adverse negstive impacts on product/ Company reputation...

    Well, it does seem like the fb page is AWOL, and the website is still offline ..... I do hope they make a comeback :) What folks don't realize is that: "(they) coulda had class. (they) coulda been a contender. (they) coulda been somebody, As far as the actual products go, the ZRS HD, ED3...
