Cons: Chromatic aberrations, bluring at the edge.
Pros: Very pleased! Bright image with high resolution, incredibly close focus distance (1m!), high quality multi-click stop eyecups, rubberised focus wheel and diopter (feel and look good!), lockable diopter... Also good quality contour neoprene strap (I find it more comfortable than Opticron's highest quality bungee strap! ), nice case (with a clever little compartment inside, and a removable case strap), and a useful rubber rainguard. About the warranty - lifetime, unconditional, transferable, no card or form to fill in...what else do you want more?
Summary: I've been comparing among a few 8x32s in that price range and finally I went for the viper 8x32. Many people would agree that the viper is one of the best in that price range. The 8x32 model has a 16mm eye relief which I find it comfortable (I wear glasses) , the 7.6 degree FOV, I would say, modest, not particularly outstanding in 8x32s. However one thing which has let me down is, it still show some chromatic aberrations. This optical defect is common among binos but if the vipers are all advertised that equipped with XD glass, then I would expect less chromatic aberrations. This year the viper has a new HD version, supposed to be better, I am looking forward to try them out!
