Title: Bad Design
Review: I just bought a pair of the C5 12 x 42 and while the optics are clear great to look through while in a controlled environment they are not user friendly in the field. I went bowhunting with them for the first time and on the second day dust got in the twist up area of the eyecups just from setting them on my dusty pack a few times without the cover on and the next time I went to pull them up they were bound up from the dust. I tried twisting it up but the rubber covering on the eyecup slipped off and broke the plastic inside it. Now it comes off with the cover everytime I take it off. Another problem with them is I went to look at an elk the day before and had to pull the cover off twist up the awkward eyecups and pull the caps off the objective lens. The whole process took about 15 seconds and the elk caught me fiddling around with the binos. Not very easily used while in the moment. I am sending them back.
