I looked at the Minox 8x32 BR and a Nikon ventuer LX 10x32. I was in the back were the used equipment is and comparing the views. The salesman said hey have you seen the Promaster Infinity Elite that we have up front. They sell for $200.00 new. He said when you get done come up and check them out. I thought ok i will look at them but how good could they be for $200.00. So i went up front and he handed me the binoculars. They felt real nice in my hand and balanced real well. I were glasses to correct for astigmatism so i need a bino with alot of eyerelief. I put the Promaster up to my eyes and i was SHOCKED how awsome the view was. I said i have to take these outside and have a better look. The field of view is 395 ft at 1000 yards. It has a 60 degree apparent field that is sharper to the edge than some of the alpha class binoculars and i had no trouble seeing the full field of view with my glasses on. I think it has 17mm eye releif. What suprised me was how bright it was and nice the depth of field is. I am going to go back and buy them on tuesday because i just cant believe how nice they were. The collimation was also perfect. The binocular has broadband multicoatings on every optical surface and the prizms are BAk 4 phase and silver coated. It also has Pepellamax coatings to help keep them clean and to help from fogging.It also has a NO FAULT LIFETIME WARRANTY. If you send them the broken pieces they will send you a new pair. It is waterproof and nitrogen filled. I just wanted to let everyone know about this binocular because i have never seen<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> anything like it for this kind of money. It performs optically better than the middle class roofs and comes close to the alpha class.</blockquote>
