[QUOTE="denco@comcast.n, post: 2337134, member: 25300"] Yes, they are great little binoculars. I am going to test them more for glare and under different lighting conditions but they are definitely keepers. What's really nice about them is they are small and light for even a 32mm. They are lighter than the new Swarovski 8x30 CL! They come with a nice simple case which I wish had a belt strap sewn into it and simple strap. It is too bad they have the issue with the tight focus but they do have excellent depth of focus which helps because you don't have to focus alot. I would buy these before I would buy an EII or SE though because they are waterproof, fogproof, dustproof,smaller and lighter and ONLY $200.00(or less if you search)! The eyecups have FOUR click stops so you can almost always find a good position and they work smooth. IPD adjustment is tight and the eyepiece diopter adjustment is tight so it doesn't move. They are better than a Nikon Monarch because of the bigger FOV @ 400 feet and they have better optics. Be forewarned they come in a CHEAP looking box. When I saw the box I was worried! But I pulled the binoculars out and I was surprised how nice they are and how good they perform. I don't see myself throwing them under the bus. They are too nice. Frank's review was right on and I will have to say he has an excellent eye and his determination in looking for good inexpensive binoculars has paid off for the rest of us. These are great little all around binoculars and you don't have to worry about them so much because they are not that expensive. Get them while you can because they are selling out all over. [/QUOTE]
