We actually would like to keep this thread on topic, which is this offering from Zeiss, and not photography, your career, or your differences w other objecting members of the board.Yes, I do understand what site I'm on. I disagree about my entries adding zero value, "but whose to say" and I agree w/injecting a "little levity" or even a lot of "levity" into a discussion, and you may have thought the clip was in jest, and if you mean that, I appreciate it, but I can assure you what you did, may not come off that way to everybody.
When someone close to you, or a good friend, suffers from those kinds of challenges, I will suggest to you that you will feel anything but levity.
I talked about the surgeries because I thought it tied into my decision not to buy a 3-4k top tier scope unless my surgeries gave me the ability to "pick up" the detail/nuance/clarity that you buy these scopes for. My eyesight was getting so bad that any optic/scope I bought, no matter how bright, no matter how clear, was going to look dark and fuzzy.
At age 70, your pupils have shrunk down to 2.5mm and when you add cataracts and astigmatism you'll need one of those magnifiers/or glasses to pick up txt that's extremely close, and the additional issue of are you getting the benefits of the scope you've paid all this money for.
In any event, you seem to have made a gesture, so we'll agree on declaring peace, and leave it there.
You can understand that, right?
