[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3493652, member: 44288"] Not particularly doing anything along the lines of purchasing one but just doing a bit of browsing and learning about binoculars and trying to find out the difference between a $200 set and a $3,000 set. While doing so I was reading the description on this pair and came across the word "plasticity". I Googled the word and it was what I thought it meant and refers to the deformation of solid material. I am assuming the deformation is of the image seen/produced by the optics but as used in the context of this sentence, plasticity is not a word I would use unless the writer has another meaning. What is the meaning for plasticity in optics? Then in the exact same sentence it says neutral, vivid colors. WTF????? Neutral colors [IMG]https://contentgrid.homedepot-static.com/hdus/en_US/DTCCOMNEW/fetch/NexGen/ContentPage/paint-color-neutrals2.jpg[/IMG] vivid colors [IMG]https://cdn.eyecare2020.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/shutterstock_127274552.jpg[/IMG] Is this an accurate description of the specification of this unit or is the technical writer using word salad trying to pump up the feature set therefore the price? Here is the reference I was reading [URL]https://cameralandny.com/shop/leica-8x56-geovid-hd-b-3000-rangefinder-binocular/a7646040-c123-0137-16cb-00163e90e196?variation=1999065[/URL] [I]Geovid HD-B units offer sharp, high-contrast images with outstanding depth and [B]plasticity[/B] as well as extremely high light transmission and [B]neutral, vivid[/B] colors, thanks to Perger Porro prisms.
