Rating: Summary: Well Designed, Poor Optics Review: Very convenient to use, nice focusing, rubber eye cups, but you get what you pay for. Binocular users don't usually realize what they're missing until they check out Nikon or Minolta binocs. The images focus into crystal clarity but the price is close to a hundred or more bucks. But it's like a digital camera. It doesn't matter what the features are if the images are crappy.
The lenses in these binocs have rings around the inner perimeter that are always out of focus. The center image is pretty good until you compare it with better binoculars, then there are more colors, a brighter image and, of course, consequently, greater viewing pleasure.
Also, like most lens caps on binoculars, the lens caps on these should be discarded with the plastic wrap and box. They fall off with gravity and you'll soon lose them anyway.
This one's a good model for kids. For yourself, use your tax cut and buy a more expensive model. If you're going to walk 12 miles into the woods, you deserve to have primo optics.
Rating: Summary: Great monocular Review: Was really looking forward to using these binoculars after
reading the other reviews, but they just don't work for me
or anyone else I borrowed them to. Everything appears as
"double vision" and all the adjusting of the width etc just
doesn't help. When I close one eye they work great as a monocular, but for both eyes they cause headaches.
My old $15 dollar binoculars never had this problem. Will
be returning them.
Rating: Summary: Bargin Quality Review: Was very suprised to find the quality in these binocular's for such a low price. Diopter adjustment was easy and simple and focus was the same. Image was clear sharp and bright. Would recommend a tripod for this level of magnification. Very satisfied with my first purchase of binocular's.
