First, the seller was honest when he said they were new in the box, they are absolutely new in every way, perfect, all paperwork and a blank warranty card. He even included his Amazon receipt in his name, dated June 28, 2008 at a much higher price than I just paid. I actually feel bad that he had to take a loss.I only had time for the briefest test, but you all know that I was worried about the dreaded SE blackouts, I'm happy to report that, though they are slightly finicky about eye placement, they are far from being blackout prone with my eyes. The rest of the view is just like my 10x42 SEs but with a bigger FOV. What is fantastic about them is the ergonomics in a small, light package. I am very interested in comparing them to my 8x32BNs.I'm off for a couple of weeks, I'll report more when I return.John</blockquote>
