User profile: Amateur
Cons: No cons from me.
Pros: Optical view. If the optics are no good the rest doesn't matter.Optics are just what I expected with phase and silver coatings and 50mm objectives.Bright, sharp and easy to look through. I find 8.5 is a sweet spot for me for magnification and I like the inherent quality bump that comes from the 50mm objectives. One of the best parts of this binocular is that once you twist the eyecup to were you want it you can push it in and it stays in place. Really, it does!
Summary: I have alpha glass, but these are what I use most often because the optics are fantastic and they really are about the same overall size as some 8x42's that I own. The build quality is good. Great value if you buy them right.
