Hi Julian,
Larry is 100% correct. I got the details from the specifications tab, that has a lot more information than the details page, which is pretty scant. There are 2 pieces of contradictory data from the details page to the specifications page in terms of coatings and prism types. You can make that 3 if you consider the eye relief. On the specifications page it states the eye relief at 12.3mm, yet on the details page it says "long eye relief". Well I wouldn't call 12.3mm to be long eye relief for binoculars by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I would have said its closer to short than long. I would call 16mm plus to be "long eye relief". I am thinking the details page might by a bit of marketing spiel by someone non technical at Saxon.
Cheers,
John B
