Not up with the very best but much better than I was expecting for the price. Perhaps too good to be expected for a production run. I'd agree with Oetzi that the Lynx, though not shabby on sharpness, did not particularly impress in the same way. I compared it to few other binos in the £200-£400 range to be sure and it was about midpoint on the sharpness scale. It couldn't match the Kite Petrel 8.5x50 for example which I've tried a few times and think very sharp for the £400 price tag. Definitely couldn't put that one in your pocket though.I'd agree with Oetzi's comments on the other points as well.David</blockquote>
