My glasses were just delivered by FedEx two hours ago.
I had only been able to try them, and compare them indoors, so the first outdoor use was a revelation. I sat on a balcony, overlooking my back yard, and looked at everything in sight. Unbeknownst to me, there is a chipmunk living in a toppled over maple tree just at the edge of my woods. I had quite a nice view if him scratching his fleas, and scurrying around, while he was sitting in a very shaded area.
The images are absolutely breathtaking, with subtle coloring, shading, and textures, previously unseen in my faithful Nikon Venturer LX. (also 10X42) The focus wheel is different, and brand new, so I will have to get used to that.
The balance is fine, and the glasses come naturally to the eyes. I like the sticky rubber, but I don't know if it becomes less sticky with use. I still need to use a star to set up the diopter adjustment perfectly, but no hope of that for at least 48 hours.
These are my new "drag them everywhere" glasses, and I wouldn't trade them for anything, even after only a half-hour's use. It is interesting to see what you never knew was there, when using other glasses.
(I have spent more than sixty years looking through various and sundry binoculars, and these are the best yet, by far.)
I also posted this as a customer review on the vendor's website.
