Thanks Ed for your review, which is more technically based than what I have been able to write about them.
I can see that I was close in my attempt to measure the effective aperture, I estimated 26-27mm by using a transparent mm-ruler.
Also you confirm my experience of a very sharp image on-axis, but quite soon softening of towards the edges.
When I compared the Yosemite 6x30 to the Swarovski SLCnew 7x42 I noticed that the Yosemite 6x30 has slightly larger TFOV than the 7x42, though both are stated the same 8deg. 8deg may be correct number for the SLC 7x42.
I have earlier somewhere claimed that the Yosemite 6x30 likely is the best ever produced binocular in it's size and price range. I wouldn't be surprised if you agree.
Regards, Patric
