Cons: Can\'t think of any
Pros: Porro design gives proper 3D image. Fantastic optical quality.
Summary: I broke my pair of Leica Trinovid 7x42. I bought a pair of these second-hand. They hit the Leica\'s out of the park; better light-gathering; better image quality; 3D effect (Porro not Roof); lighter and easier to grip. Mine are actually 7x50 B/GA they are so old. I used to use these in the Navy in 1989 and 90. They are as good now as I recall from those times.

Cons: Objective covers are a little hard to put and have them stay on.
Pros: Truly excellent optical quality. Not too heavy or bulky. Very well made and robust. Easy to look through. Professional appeal.
Summary: A pleasure to use and some real porro classic. Still build new for some navy customers if bulk ordered (as of 2020).

Pros: This is the best set of binoculars I have used. We had them in the Swedish Royal Navy and I would spend long days on the bridge wing just to get to use them. After hours of watching birds and sealife, I would never tire since the image was so sharp, so crystal clear and free from aberration. It is the only time in my life I felt like my vision was magnified without anything between me and the object I was watching.
Summary: Would love a pair today, but only for marine use, too bulky and heavy to haul around.

Cons: Big and Heavy. Not water proof according to mfr., more like very water resistant. No problems though in rain, rinsing them off with hose, and extensive exposure to wet snow.
Pros: Built like a tank, crystal clear, best premium "all around" binoculars I've used.
Summary: I was able to get this binocular for $1,120 that normally sells below it's $1,999 retail at around $1,799. At the $1,799 price point I would of been pleased so I am just thrilled. Have used these professionally as well as on safari in Africa. No complaints.

Cons: Due to weight, best in your hand not around your neck.
Pros: Always comfortable, great if you don' wear glasses, built like a tank.
Summary: If 7x50 is agreeable, these are optically superior and very very robust.
