I'd be interested in your opinion of them.  It seems to me to be the ideal one choice binocular for the serious user with some budget constraints.While the Promaster does require some fiddling (for lack of a better term) to get the diopter adjustment right the first time, I have yet to have to fiddle at all with mine outside the initial set up.  It does not have the annoying "diopter drift" sometimes seen on "almost there" value price binoculars.</blockquote>
