Who has them, and how do you like them? I've been looking at the ones with the Insta-focus feature. How does that work? Do you never have to adjust that knob again for focus? That seems to be quite a nice little feature.

Thanks for any info.

I really like mine.  I bought the 15x56 Big Horn model.

They are really nice.  The Sport-focus thing works great.  You just need to focus it once, and then forget about it.  Each eye is adjustable so it took me a little while to get it just right, but the results were great.  I think I'm gonna get a set from their Predator series next.
HTH.

 Think they're generally over-rated for the price. Try side-by-side comparisons with decent Jap names[Nikon,Pentax or Minolta] and check brightness and edge clarity. They were obviously behind the curve when I checked.
 Course, good jap glass will give Swarvoski and Zeiss a run for the money-more bang for the buck regardless. Ghost
