Has anyone any experience with these binos? They claim a 6.5 degree FOV, but as they're discontinued, I'm wondering if the optics are up to scratch.

Pentax made a 9x63 as well and I believe they were produced in the 1990's. Pentax said they are not phase coated. The ones I looked at were very heavy...so much so I passed buying them.

Sancho,

If you're looking for an 8x56 roof, check out these, they are very compact. Only downside seems to be CA, which won't be a problem with Ireland's sunny skies . The same company makes an 8x56 ED porro.
