Hi

It's me, Joanie. I will be taking over this blog and adding it my existing Optics blog. Just wanted to let you know in case you visit my Optics blog and don't see as much talk on binoculars. Didn't want you to think I've lost interest in binoculars (fat chance). Since one of the basic rules of optics is that you can't shut Joanie up on the subject of binoculars, I may just blog on binoculars on both sites. This blog, though, will be centered on binoculars.

There will be some changes, here, and those changes will reflect the fact that a hard-core user of binoculars is now writing. I have had over forty years of experience in birding, astronomy, butterfly watching, wildlife observation and nearly twenty years of selling binoculars and writing about them. Let's put it this way - more than one person in my lifetime has threatened to surgically attach a binocular to my forehead since they rarely got to see my face, anyway.
