[QUOTE="FrankD, post: 1385309, member: 18544"] Here you go...and to add two further observations. One, the close focus, for me, appears to be just under 6 feet. I can look straight down with them and focus clearly on my toes. Excellent. Two, upon further evaluation the level of edge sharpness/size of the sweet spot seems to be very good. I would place it as equivalent to the Meopta's and possibly at the same level as the Swaro EL. This and several other small issues have me wondering if we really aren't seeing an evolution of this design. In my opinion the eyecups and several image quality characteristics seem to be slight improvements over the Promaster ED without sacrificing anything I have yet to find. [/QUOTE]
