Yea a mate has a pair in 10x and they're really nice for the money, I have used Trinovids and had some Conquests myself and would put the conquests ahead of the Tinovids but the Kowas ahead of all of them. I dont find leica glass to be true to colour and it annoys me, conquests were very easy on the eye and by all means a pretty decent bino they just showed a little bit more chromatic abberation and lost a few minutes on last light compared to the ELs I have now. As others have said there is a big step up in price between these middle of the range binos and the Alpha binos for not a lot of gain, but there is some gain there. Think theres a place in Motueka that imports the Kowa range, thats where my buddy got his.
