A daytime update: I just had these 5x32's outside at work with my Carl Zeiss Jena 7x50's. A couple of impressions. The Miyauchi's have a much greater FOV, no surprise there. Not double, I'd estimate about 80% more. So you're going to see a lot more of the sky (or whatever you're viewing). The Miyauchi's were noticibly brighter then the Zeiss. A lot of heat waves- looking out across the runway at some antenna towers, moving from side to side- up & down, yes- they go out of focus at the sides and top most- but I don't really notice it when just viewing, as my attention/focus is naturally looking at the center. Still liking the mechanics. Smooth focusing. Now... something I hadn't thought of- or looked for: Fun Factor! I like using them! They're fun! Just to pick up & grab a look at something- it'd be the Miyauchi's. Looking forward to getting it out under the skies at night more. Forgive me if this is not a factual review in degrees, minutes, seconds and feet. I'm not that knowledgeable. So this is a layman's review. I'll save the detailed specifications to those who know how to accurately measure & state them. Wes
