Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tero" data-source="post: 1385153" data-attributes="member: 3367">I had some time for field testing, and 10 year birds, including a barred owl.Focus knob on Promaster is a bit stiff in cold weather. I had the Pentax 10x43 SP to compare. Very similar in many respects. If I have to send either for repair, I can easily switch back and forth between these two. Brightness was about the same on the cloudy day. The bright yellow spot on a Gold Crowned Kinglet was bright on either.I had no problem carrying around the neck 1-2 h with the strap it came with. It hangs niceley, straps attach to sides as they should. I never had to readjust the diopter, never touched it. I have problems like that usually.The sun was not in sight, so nor real stray light today.</blockquote>
