Well, as-new, anyway. They are factory demo units that I picked up for 1/3rd off. I purchased them as an upgrade from my 10x30 Swaro Companions which had too much CA for my eyes. I've only had the Zeiss out for about 30 minutes of viewing but so far can't find fault with them. Just one of those, "yep, this is how the view should look" experiences.
I'm a little torn about the Swaros, however. Outside of the CA they really only suffer in direct comparison. And they look great and the ergos are nice. I logged a lot of hiking miles with them this past summer so it's a little like throwing out a good friend.
