As would be expected from Zeiss, the lenses are flawless-there is so little reflection of outside light sources that it seriously looks like there are no lenses. The eye relief is alright but just a shade too small for my bins, but useable. Happily enough they don't look half as strange as they did in the shop due to the truely transparent lenses. Finally, having stuck them under a tap I can see quite clearly how after being in a few rainstorms I won't know how i ever lived without the hydrophobic coating!Only worry now is when the eye cups touch the lens. There are already smeary bits on the eyeglasses from where they do, and I'm just hoping that it's just grime from the eyecups rather than coating damage.</blockquote>
