It is truly refreshing to see someone has made an effort to provide usable binoculars with realistic specifications. That said, I wouldn't expect them to be high-end binoculars.With such a gigantic FOV I would accept quite a lot of edge softness, decidedly low magnification and average eye relief. The close focus seems to be one weak point. Their weight and barrel size suggest they are midsized despite their configuration, which leads the thought to compact binoculars.Would I take the plunge? Nah, I have that nagging suspicion they focus anticlockwise |!|. Is someone ready to lose £50 to try them out?Who knows, they may be the new BS binoculars. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Oh sorry, I meant Blue Sky. 3<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />//L</blockquote>
