I'm looking for a compact binocular to complement my 12 X 60 and 20 X 80.

I was attracted to these 10 X 42 roof prism triplet binocs from AOS.

Has anybody got experience with them?

I got sent one of those from Andrews by mistake (the 8x42 model). They have obvious prism reflections visible day or night and show prism cutoff as well. Also quite bulky. Even the AOE cheapie porro prisms are much better: http://www.aoe.com.au/wide_angle.html
