Message: <blockquote data-quote="SUPPRESSOR" data-source="post: 3284900" data-attributes="member: 25374">My Canon 10x42s arrived today all the way from Hong Kong taking just 4,working days to arrive and costing £812 including delivery,not a bad price for a new pair of bins of such quality.Kimmo has written a first class review of this model and as far as the optics go I have nothing to add, they do indeed offer a first class image.I have read that other people who have tried these binoculars have had issues with the eye cups and both the rain guard and objective covers so I was a bit concerned I might find the same.But I am pleased to say this was not the case.  I don't wear glasses so have the eye cups fully extended and they offer me a perfect fit and feel with no blackouts they fit so snuggly that eye placement is spot on every time.The rain guard is of very good quality fits nicely and does not fall off even when the bins are turned upside down.The objective cover is of the same high quality and it can be a bit of a faff to fit on properly , but, if one takes the trouble to fit in on snug it stays put as it should.The supplied neck strap is also of a high standard and I find it comfortable.Another nice surprise was how good and steady the image is without the image stabilizer turned on,as good as any binocular I have had and I have had all the top models at one time or another.So if you are thinking about having one of these binoculars try and spend a bit of time looking through one they might just fit you too,on the other hand if you are only able to manage binoculars that weigh the same as a sparrows breast feather don't bother!!      Suppressor.</blockquote>
