Great Binos - but not fixed focus
This is a great pair of binos, if you're looking for a pair with adjustable focus.
I was specifically looking for fixed-focus, which the specs said these are, but they're adjustable. Mind you, it's a very good adjustment system, with centre 'Instafocus' knob that rapidly changes focus point and right eye diopter adjustment.
The only complaint I'd have about the actual binos is that the depth of field is shallow. This means that frequent adjustment of focus is necessary if the range to your subject changes.
I'm guessing this is caused by a large aperture (in photography terms), which also means the image is very bright.
I'm happy to recommend the binoculars, assuming adjustable focus is your thing.
Pros: Crisp, clear optics. Good eye relief.
Cons: Shallow depth of field.
