yup...I LOVE the Swarovski's I've looked through...better
resolution on the 20-60 zoom..and crisp image, BUT I
wonder sometimes why they went with the helical focus..
I can see how they might think that 1 turn to Infinity
might be better, but the KOWA with 2 1/2 turns to Infinity
and the knob focus is easier to use..handier, some how..
and not as abrupt in the focusing as the helical focus
on the S..
