Hello Scott ,
There ARE sevral reviews / reports of these Russian 20 x60s available in various places on the net. including one by Todd Gross at www.weatherman.com .
These are very inexpensive binoculars usually with quite a few mechanical problems , but Todd rates them as a "best buy" in spite of these handicaps .
Your " discouragement " might be as much related to poor viewing conditions as anything else .
It might be useful if you could compare the views through these with those through a few other pairs of binos such as 10 x 50s , 15 x 70s and 20 x 80s.
