The ergonomics are superb - the weight really isn't an issue at all and the view is excellent, though not perfect. When looking into very bright skies there is a 'halo' around the very outer edge of the field of view and in certain conditions there is a little off-centre CA but I'm not sure how much they lose to the EL's (or any other bins) in this respect.I've only been caught out by the close focus once or twice in 3 years of owning them, and that was only when looking at butterflies.If you will be using them in low light and are not bothered by weight the 10x50's might be worth a look - there are many on this forum who speak very highly of them.The golden rule as always though is try before you buy. What suits my eyes/hands etc... may be very different to everyone else.Perry</blockquote>
