These binoculars are sharp in 80% of the field of view. Short eye relief is a problem with glasses, but not a problem without. Eyecups pull straight out, and the diopter is set by turning the eyecup. It also has a hinge lock. Prisms are only single coated, not phase coated. Only a small amount of flare is detectable. A nice compact unit, but the case is too large and the dust caps are not connected so they can get lost. All four caps are the same size. This is a made in Japan deal.
