Ok, after owing a pair of these for a bit more than a month I feel able to comment...I even waited for some snow on the ground for my truest test of whiteness and colour fidelity.
In short, I would completely concur with all the praise heaped on this bin, here and elsewhere. I won’t try to “review”, but will simply summarize - bright, ultra sharp, deeply contrasted and seemingly completely neutral colour with outstanding transparency. To me, it replicates the view in my HT in all but the poorest light and shares that bins outstanding glare suppression as well as great control of semi-benign veiling glare.... something I think largely contributes to the very transparent and satisfying image.
Mechanics and build are 1st rate. It took me at least a week to work out my ideal hold and eyecup position but now it’s intuitive and provides a fuss free view.
I’m impressed by my mini alpha.
