Boardlurker here, thanks for all the information. I am finding no feedback to speak of on this line of binoculars. It looks like the Hawke Prostalk 8x56 ED in different clothes. I am not worried about its size or weight so much as issue with optical performance. I like the large objectives and it is within my budget. Also, some retail sites make no mention of HD (ED?) glass on their Vulture 8x56, perhaps there is an older non-HD model as well.
