Demo Kowa BD-25 8x25 Compact Binocular for only $179.99

We just got in a few of these from Kowa. They are gearing up for trade shows now that the world is opening up and we grabbed these demo units which were display units from prior shows. In the original boxes with everything including full warranty. Great way to save money on a great binocular.

Schmidt-Pechan Roof Prism Lens and C3 Coating
Kowa's roof prism binoculars use a Schmidt-Pechan prism. With the highly reflective C3 coating application, this increases reflectivity by 99% or higher reflectance rate across the entire visible spectrum (400-700nm). This not only provides bright and sharp images, but also accurate color reproduction.

Phase-Coated Roof Prism
The Schmidt prism roof surface is phase corrected to ensure sharp images for the most outstanding image contrast.

All-Surface Multi-Coating
The all-surface multi-coated optical system provides a precise color definition for a brighter and sharper image.

Waterproof and Fogproof
The housing is waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging to ensure image clarity.

Twist-Up Eyecups
Twist-up multi-step eyecups allow customization for easy viewing even when wearing eyeglasses.

In examining the specs on these I noticed that the eye relief on the 8x was shorter than the 10x! You would expect it to be the other way around unless the 10x had a different design of eyepiece. Yet both models seem to have a 50 degree AFOV suggesting the same design. I checked the Kowa website and they list the ER as 16.0mm for the 8x and 18.0mm for the 10x. Can anyone who's used these binos confirm that Kowa's figures are correct?
