Cons: Sensitive for eye positioning - when not properly alligned view is affected by huge ammount of Chromatic Aberration... Colors are shifted to yellow red due the silver coating Very fast focus for 10,5x, it will be better ilock to lock will be 400° instead of 250°. /shallow depth and fast focus is not the best combination/ Bit smaller prisms cause darkening at edge...
Pros: Nice sweetspot 85% (95% H, 70% V) Very good sharpness /not as sharp as my 8,5x42 EL SV, but extra 2x magnification allow to read signs from same distance better in Vanguard/ Very nice casing, for its price category it is steps forward about competition, Bino and ocular/objective covers used very nice material on touch... Nice ergonomics, lightweight /there I can accept some increase to achieve better dimensioned prisms/ Stable view for 10,5x / I expected problems here, but do not found at all/
Summary: One of best values on market, very nice bino, look and feel in hand is sub alpha, view is above its price category, but dielectric mirror and higher grade ED glass /expected in next generation/ will improve it to be sub alpha class in optics category. Anyway, it is bino which I will use for longer distance viewing, on trips where I am aware of use EL SV due to risk of suffering damage or lost....

Cons: Some coma from approx. 60% of radius Slight edge blurring Some CA towards edge Bag awkward to use: have to clip and unclip strap from binos to bag, and should have double zip Difficult to access tripod connection
Pros: Sharp image across wide field Almost zero CA at centre Little image distortion, from about 70-80% of radius
Summary: Excellent value for money. Compares very well with Leica Ultravid (8x the price) and Steiner (3 x the price) models I looked through: in fact way less distortion and coma than both.
