    Cons: Ultima versione prima della dismissione,con custodia in cordura matricola 160... Manopola di messa a fuoco troppo fluida,si perde e si va alla ricerca di continuo.Inutile con bassi ingrandimenti e ottima profondita\' di campo come un 7x. Migliore la pastosita\' nelle versioni precedenti,una volta impostata,rimaneva. Non smanetto con il focus come i birdwatchers. Piu\' pesante di pari formato,ma sicuramente piu\' robusto,come da derivazione militare.e\'. Un po\' di AC in giornate nuvolose,in condizioni critiche,se si cerca,si trova.

    Pros: Ottica assolutamente neutra ,non dominanti calde come le versioni precedenti. Ottimo per portatori di occhiali 21,8mm di Ep Campo quasi piatto,ottima tridimensionalita\'. Ottica brillante,nitida e contrastata. Luminoso. Comfort osservativo. Prestazioni quasi da porro in luci artificiali,lievissimi spyke luminosi, per un tetto sp,c\'e\' qualita\'. Resa in controluce, ottima soppressione delle luci e dei riflessi Alta qualita\' costruttiva,,da Top di gamma. Rapporto Qualita\'/ Prezzo. Meccanica e robustezza. Assistenza seria.

    Summary: Molto consigliato.

    Cons: Slightly heavier than its top-class competitors. And there is also a little bit more amount of chromatic aberration when compared to the (usually HD) high-end. The objective lens covers do really make me hopeless.

    Pros: Excellent mechanics, sturdy and absolutely reliable under any conditions. Excellent ergonomics, comfortable observation even with glasses, super smooth focusing even after years. Optical performance - maybe not the very best in the whole world but at least competitive. And what in fact is the very best?

    Summary: Well, it was rather a matter of chance for me buying this glass. I had been using several older Soviet BPCs before and had zero experience with this class of binoculars. So when I first looked through it I was feeling myself like Alice in wonderland. It was simply a miracle. The same it was with anyone who borrowed this machine from me. As time went by, I was able to discover some disadvantages, too. And once I was even able to compare it with Trinovid and Victory. Yes, they were better. A few grams lighter, with less chromatic aberration maybe. But for three times the price. And the lens covers? Maybe they update them somehow... I hope...

    Cons: Not flat-field (but a large sweet spot), not wide-field (due to optical design), not as much contrast as Leica Ultravid 7x42 HD. Somewhat heavier as expected (but this allows a steady view).

    Pros: Excellent behaviour against the light (e. g. reflections of the sun in a pond). Good ergonomics despite the weight. Very robust. Not expensive.

    Summary: One of the last 7x42 binoculars. All in all very good image quality (Leica Ultravid is slightly better, but for 3 times as much money). Ideal for gaining an overview in panning and census tasks in ornithology.
