I've tried repeatedly to post a full review of these binoculars, but it seems that no amount of editing will get the full review under the 3000 character max. So here it is in a nutshell. These binos currently have a $100 Pentax rebate, and that coupled with careful internet shopping means that they are available in the $250US range.
Pros:
Price
Phase coating
Long Eye relief (20mm)
Waterproof
Cons:
Coatings not up to standards set by Minox & Kahles
Flare and ghost easily
Some noticeable aberations
Flat colors
Bottom line: Good B+ roof prism binos in a price range previously unheard of for phase coated waterproof roofies. I recomend them for what they are.
