Message: <blockquote data-quote="Highway Dog" data-source="post: 1751783" data-attributes="member: 24112">Thanks, Rick, for you starting this thread!I just received a 10x42 Legend Ultra last week. (My 10x42 interest these days)The eye cups are not too short for me. I even actually have to retract them one quarter of the way so that I can see a crisp field stop at the edge of the view.  Must be that my face is different than you guys.  [I am not a snail]Two days ago I took them to the zoo with another 10x50 roof I owned. (celestron Noble.)  The view was wider, and the chromatic abberations was distinctly controlled to a lower level.  (where the Nobles showed a wide green patch on an elephants back bordering the sky, the Ultra only showed a thin green line.)The view is very clear, like a Porro.  The focusing is quick.  It almost disturbs me how quickly I come to focus.  It makes me worry if I can improve-- but I try and it seems to be fine.This is a small size 10x.  5 and a half inches  or 14 centimeters.  It seems small to me.I like it quite a bit.  One of you guys sold me your Promaster 8x ED --6.25 inches long.  This Bushnell seems to work similarly, but I like the center focus knob of the Promaster. (Arrival at focus is better)  This Bushnell works beautifully, but without calling attention to itself like the clothing of the Promaster or the Zen Ray.This pair was $163 from Amazon Warehouse that was "open box".  Dicey choice there, because I asked for the ones with the rubber armoring with markings. I received the one with rubber armoring perfect,  eye piece anti-reflection coatings with defects.  However, I cannot detect anything detracting from the view. (I have not done resolution tests though.)  Rick, it is a good reference!Rob.</blockquote>
