Cons: 1) The main problem was that I couldn't adjust the diopter of right eye in such a way that it stays constant for all viewing distances. When focused on different distances I felt some difference between eyes. May be caused by diferent magnifications of two barrels? I compared this Olympus to Russian KOMZ 12x45, the latter had wider view and easily achievable diopter correction, but bad flares and contrast in some conditions. 2) A little too heavy. The field of view is a little narrow, but OK. Chromatic aberration can show up very high at the edges, but it is not bothersome imho.

Pros: Solid build, good contrast, good protection from flares, rather handy.

Summary: Try thoroughly before you buy.
