Noticed these being offered by Kowa,

and thought they might generate some interest.

interesting size...
Too bad that by the time they are shipped & handled and have passed customs, they'll equal the Swarovski EL in price.

..unless they turn out to be better than the Swarovski of course 
Seriously though, I think they look very interesting and I'd certainly like to try them.

Kowa Japan does not show this model on their web site nor have I seen them in stores. FYI, "Prominar" lens' are made fluorite not ED glass.
cheers,

true  but I've found in a lengthy store check I reported previously in this forum, that for me the ergonomics of holding typical roof prism binoculars is rather uncomfortable, and the Swarovski EL is the one notable exception on that. Here's my link to that report I made:

Please do, and let us know how they live up to expectations!
