Cons: There's an annoying detent at the zero point of diopter adjustment that makes near-zero adjustment difficult; flare could be better controlled; and sharpness falls off towards edge, but for those like me whose view is alway centered, this isn't a problem.
Pros: Ergonomics are first-rate with bare hands or heavy gloves; the view is superb with good contrast, natural colors and a definite sense of "presence."
Summary: A definite top-tier binocular in the same class as Swarovision, and Ultravid HD. The only reason why it doesn't get a "5" for value is because there are so many "betas" that offer a view almost as good that sell for so much less

Cons: Detent prevents dioptric adjustment near the "0" setting; some may find the focus too loose.... as birders do a lot of focusing compared to hunters, I like it loose
Pros: View is bright, clear, sharp and gives the viewer a sense of intimacy with the viewed object; easy to focus (things "snap" into focus); great in the hands, ribs on barrels provide good grip with gloves; big focus knob a real plus; rugged construction; a real "lifetime" binocular
Summary: While CZ doesn't have the ultimate warranty that my Leicas carry, they are still a lifetime binocular that I don't intend ever to replace. They are my "go to" bins whenever I don't know what to bring with me (that is, 7x bins, 10x bins or scope); that is not to say they are a compromise.... instead it's to say that they do so many things so very well. I have no regrets.

Cons: Non yet.
Pros: No CA, very bright, very sharp, nice and LIGHTWEIGHT.
Summary: My everyday 8x binocular. It out resolves every other 8x in the same category I have ever tried. The control of CA is as close to perfect as modern optics allow. I cannot fault this binocular, even the diopter adjustment is spot on perfect...very rare. 5 Stars.
