I started to buy one of these a few months ago that was left over at a Wild Birds Unlimited store. The view was surprisingly good, and while it lacked contrast compared to the DCF SPs I had with me, I actually found the lack of high contrast made for a relaxing view, plus they were very easy to hold steady. The only reason I didn't buy them was that when the eyecup was adjusted, the diopter adjustment turned with it.I may start a thread about interest in a passaround if I were to buy one of these Promasters, or even a raffle-style passaround if that's not against the rules here. The way the raffles I've seen work, 7 or 8 of us(would have to be limited to US residents) could throw in ~$20 apiece for the 8x32 Promaster or whatever we decided on, check out the bino for a week or so each, with each person responsible for shipping to the next, then one person wins the bino based on everyone picking a number from 0-9, and using a public lottery's next number as the source of the winning digit to keep it fair.Could be a good opportunity to check out an unknown brand without having much invested, plus comments from different people about the same sample would keep us from wondering if one person got a good one while another got a lemon when our views of the same model differ.Just a thought.</blockquote>
