FYI, the lenses, coatings, and internals are all the same as found in the latest Chronus UHD versions, although the 8.5 powers are no longer offered any more.
 
These punch waaay above their weight class.

After buying these, I compared them to my Swarovski 10x42 SLC's.

After a head to head dual, the Athons were so close, that I ended up selling the Swarovskis.

Edge to edge clarity is amazing, & beat the SLC and several others I've compared them too.

You won't be disappointed.
 
I have a pair of these and if I needed a second set I would be all over these.
