Does anyone have experience with Kenko binoculars? I have seen the name come up a few times recently in my websurfing but don't remember seeing anything mentioned on the forums about them. Eagle Optics picked them up fairly recently and there is one model...an 8x32 open-bridge, non-ED glass unit...that I am considering purchasing. That particular unit states "Made in Japan" but I am not sure if they all are or what the company's story is. Of course, I do not have a preference in that area but thought it worth mentioning if it helps provide some info on their products.
Thanks.
I used to have a Kenko scope which I bought at in focus for £130 about 5 years ago. I broke it last year but it served me well. It was not particularly good quality but it was lightweight and hardy.
I tried the Ultraview DH a while back and made some comments.

I think I did try the EX OP another time but I don't remember the details. I'm guessing I wasn't tempted. I understood different models in the range were made in different countries including Japan, China and the Philippines.
