Actually Eschenbach is well known for solid long glass of the middle class as to 500 -> but this model is really something for professionals. Hunters, nature lovers and others of my acquaintance are thrilled. At first you were all skeptical, but then also curious. The weight, the brilliant imaging performance, water resistant equipment, the design, you really loved everything. Even the biggest fans of the classic traditional brands such as Zeiss or Swarovski told me that this was really binoculars worth the money.
