Out of all of the Gen 1 units i've bought, the Yukon Binocs are the only ones that i can say are useful. I ditched all my gen 1 units exept the Yukon Binocs. They aren't as good as a gen 2 but for a Gen 1 they are as good as it gets.

Good luck...
From what I've heard Yukon gen1 is the least shitty of them for comercial stuff. |

Well I just got in from using them, not totally dark outside but i was impressed. This is my first experiance with an NVD and now I am afraid to try gen 2 from what everybody is saying.

From a purely optical standpoint, the Yukon stuff I have examined has been high quality. I have a spotting scope made by them. Unless I'm mistaken, they're still a Russian company, and the Russians have a good history of making high quality optics. Jim |

Optically they seem nice except the left Eye doesnt focus as well as the Right.

It could be a variance in tube peformances or your eyes. You need to focus the diopter adjustments for the sharpest image using both your eyes.

I just broke out my Yukon binocs. I have 2 high end gen 3 NOD's and you want to know something? They (the Yukons) aint bad. This is why i kept them.

I did that, the left eye still won't focus as sharp at the right. |

It can be one of two things. The variance in tube peformances or your left eye diopter adjustments. Let me ask you this. When you focus the left diopter adjustment do you have to go all the way in either direction to get it to maximum focus? If so that's probably your problem, If not your left tube isn't as good as your right. |

No I'm not maxing out the diopter adjustment for the best focus. it is just "soft" to use the photography term. Its not a big deal and you cant really notice it when using both eyes. The right tube is very sharp. |

Quoted:
Its not a big deal and you cant really notice it when using both eyes. That's all that really matters. Focus both diopters to get the sharpest image with both eyes. Enjoy.
