It's getting late but I took them out for a spin and they have that same wonderful clarity and 3d view of the 8x30 and while the 10x fov is a generous 366ft it's noticeably narrower  than the 8x. It really draws things in close however and "brutally sharp". Blows my Meopro 10x quite away. Tomorrow I get to put these babies up against a Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 and see how much difference there will be. I predict dead center clarity is a tie. Brightness, contrast and edge sharpness go to the Zeiss along with a much nicer focuser. It will be about the same as the EII 8x did against the Zeiss 8x the other day. Both being alpha binoculars IMO but the EII costing a fifth of what the Zeiss do. Seeing is believingBtw I had to contact the seller in Japan and it's amazing how overly polite that culture is. There was  a slight communication mix up and I must have seriously gotten a dozen apologies of all styles and types and they hadn't even done anything wrong. So I sent an email back in that same style praising them over and over again for their excellent service and good grasp of the English language. So then I got another email  thanking me in a dozen profuse ways and apologising several times again just in case something they said might have offended me. I'm moving there next week for sure.</blockquote>
