Title: Wide field of view...but not sharp edge-to-edge
Review: These binoculars do have an extra-wide field of view (900' at 1000 yards, vs. 650' for the Bushnell Powerview 4x30's), as advertised. I purchased these specifically for watching NBA games from my third-level seats in the Rose Garden, and the field-of-view was about the size of the court. Unfortunately, the focus towards the edges is very poor, so I still had to move the binoculars back and forth to keep the action in focus. Also, either the fixed-focus or the lack of constant focus seems to force your eyes to do a lot of focusing work when you pan the binoculars. After following the players running up and down the court for about five minutes, my eyes had problems focusing without them for nearly an hour!I returned these and purchased the Bushnell Powerview 4x30's for about 1/8th the price. The Powerviews are smaller & lighter, and the view is razor-sharp edge-to-edge. You can't see as much of the court at once, but my eyes are much happier now.
Is the review positive or negative?
