2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Nice optics for the price
By OC Birder Trish
I'm a bit rough on binocs, and the don't seem to have a very long life span around me.I got this pair used, for a great price, which was much incentive for my purchase.Though I really haven't had the chance to take them "out for the day" yet, I've used them briefly.They easily focused in for me without any trouble. They are a little heavier than I was expecting, though not unreasonable. I may consider a harness for them at some point.Twist-ups move freely. Strap is nicer than the usual shoe string you get with a pair.They have the lens caps attached, and came with the "rain cap" as well as the case.I would recommend these for someone who isn't quite ready to go spend $$$$ for a set yet.I'll update if I run into anything to add.Edit 5-14-11I've had these several weeks now, and they ROCK. Nuff said.

The image is clear and bright. The center focus and right eye focus control were easy to use. Came with a comfortable neck strap which would be great for outdoor viewing. Great price and good value!

By Phinizy P. Spalding
I hate leaving a negative review for these. I have had them for over a year, and I liked them so much that I got my Dad a pair. Unfortunately, his broke immediately. I wasn't sure what happened, but the image was misaligned, so you couldn't focus on anything. I assumed it was a fluke. He sent them back under warranty and they sent him a new pair (for a fee, not sure what it was).Turns out it wasn't a fluke. I dropped these about about 2.5 feet in the case recently. I didn't think it was a big deal, although I never want to drop a precision instrument like these. I look through them, and they are misaligned. My conclusion is that these things are just not durable. Any abuse and they will break.They work beautifully until they break though.
