Bought these two recently and I'm very happy with them.
Mark from Belgium made me do it, I've had problems with Belgians before!
I thought, the way the world is going only the Lord knows what is about to happen and that could be anything, so I decided to unleash the arrow.
I do NOT wear glasses whilst observing so my comment is that there are NO blackout problems what so ever to MY eyes with both pair.
I like to jam the eye cups back in my sockets and I'm able to do this with NO problems what so ever.
I want to stress this comment because one of my gripes with most binocular reviews is the lack of mention of this very subject for people who don't wear glasses.
Image quality is fantastic as is the build and feel.
The objective covers on the 10x42HD is worse than useless and the only thing that spoils them.
How come the simplest thing to manufacture is a complete failure?
If I'm able, I'll give them both a thorough test over the next few months.
One thing I did notice with the 10x42HD this afternoon { and this has been commented on by others } is excellent glare control.
This comes in very handy for me as I like to observe the waders at the far bank of the river about 150yds away, and it's the south bank with strong/low sun shining directly against me.
I've only had them a short while but very happy with the optical quality of both pair.
I decided to change the large thick GPO binocular straps to some thinner ones, this is just a personal decision.
The straps are very good indeed, it's just that I prefer thinner ones.
Well that's all for now.
Goodnight and God Bless.
