Judging from the outer box I was a little hesitant about signing for them!!! But, they are infact intact!!! A few initial test's proved they are collimated! First, today atmospheric condition's are crummy! Will post more about the optics when I get the chance. First impression's are very favorable though! Did some viewing over the lake at some high contrast targets, metal roof's, ton's of waterfowl on the lake with breezy condition's and lot's of sun! Watched the pr. of Bald Eagles in there nest, hence the purchase of this particular glass! All in all quite pleased. Was not able to detect alot of cal? I assume it's by design with the rather shallow fov of this glass with the added mag that's how they are able to reduce the cal? I'm no expert so please chime in? This glass is fairly sharp accross the whole fov. It doesn't have the deepest dof but, focus it at your intended target and you get a very pleasant view! Still affords you with the typical 3D porro view! And on top of that it is very neutral to me not showing any color byass! It is a compact glass compared to what I had pictured, not much difference between it an a 10x50 porro! You can infact hand hold it with no problem though to me that defeats the whole purpose! Yes I would like to have ED glass, if nothing else for the color correction that it displays! That said for the price and it's intended use it fit's the bill quite nicely! I do need a suggestion though! Tripod mounting? I have the Pentax TP3 adapter and an L bracket, what I want is something to mount a little lower to tri-pod head to make it more stable when I'am standing? Thanks, Bryce...</p></blockquote><p></p>
