I have a pair and love them.  Only issue is the weight.  I subsequently got some of the new lightweight ZEISS 8x.  I'm hesitant to use them so they stay in the case while I use the Genesis as I already scuffed up one of the lenses.  They get thrown in the back seat for immediate use.  I had to drill and tap the center barrel to accept a tripod adapter.  Did they start making them usable with a tripod adapter?  Good luck with the sale.

I don't use them on a tripod, so I am not sure.  They are a little heavier than some others, but I think that speaks to their quality. I have a Zeiss Conquest 10x42 and to my eyes the Kowa has a sharper image.

If anyone is considering these, check out reviews online. They are very highly thought of. At $750 it is a great buy.
