Cons: My only complaint is field of view, a little narrow and you can feel it if you compare with other ones.
Pros: I\'m agree with comments. Very solid binoculars, easy to use. Focus is a little hard at the beginning but later, after a few months using it, is perfect and accurate. Image is really sharp and bright and very flat, without distortion (but smaller field of view is, probably, the reason). Is a good investment if you need it for birdwatching and general use.
Summary: It depends of you like.. image is so sharp (or maybe a little more) than Nikon counterpart, but you sacrifice field of view. In the other side I prefer this sturdy and bright Pentax.

Cons: Terrible lens covers.
Pros: Solid as a rock build quality. Excellent optics (and I sold leica and Minox for a living so I know) excellent edge to edge sharpness. Low flare. Outstanding low light capabilty. And easier than 10 x 50 to hold a steady image without a tripod.
Summary: Looked at every option and eventually chose theses over the Nikon on out * out sheer usabilty and quality. Best kept secret on the binocular market today.And despite what some people will have you believe?. they ARE BK4 prisms. Excellent product
