These might be interesting to Porro fans, FOV is sure to raise eyebrows though.

Its not an internal focusing binocular like the rest of the line.

Its another clone.

I did have a quick look on Friday. It looked like a Yosemite clone, the view looked like a Yosemite clone, but I thought the mouldings were a little chrisper and the mechanicals had a different, perhaps more refined feel. Perhaps one or other factories has some new machines?

Would agree about the similarity to the Yosemite except for the field of view. Reminds me more of the cabelas version in that sense.

Why haven't you guys thought of the similarity to the Redfield Renegade Porro. 8x36 or 10x.

Adorama is selling the Redfield for 70 dollars. The Pentax 8x30 PCF CW is 125 dollars at that company.

I see that the Yosemite is a better match. --- sorry.

That is 20 oz. versus 16 oz. in the Pentax.
