ZEISS Terra ED Binoculars 10x42 Compact Waterproof and Fast Focusing, Black

These are great binoculars for the price. Sharp and bright with lightweight materials for all day use. It's a nice feature that the eyepiece shades screw in for eyeglasses wearers. I suggest putting the eyepiece cover through the neck strap on only one side so it hangs out of the way while you're looking through the binocs. Nice also that the lens covers clip off the hang straps so you can leave them at home - they're not really necessary when the binocs are hanging around your neck and the lenses are facing down. Just speaking as someone who spent years doing all day building facade inspections using 1990's vintage Zeiss 10x40 T* armored binocs, these Terras are damn nice. You would have to spend a LOT more for something noticeably better and you don't have to treat the Terras like the family jewels if you're climbing around somewhere rugged, which you probably are.

These binoculars are a real value. My primary binoculars are Swarovski SLC 8X50 which I use for birding. I wanted a lighter pair with more magnification, and did not want to spend big bucks for a second pair of high quality binsoculars. I was pleased to discover that Zeiss made an affordable binocular and decided to try them out. The image is chrystal clear and very bright. I was impressed with the view as soon as i took my first look. The wide field of view made it easy to find the target with only a little bit of practice. The binocular comes with a very nice neoprene neck strap. It also includes a velvet soft pouch with a voucher for a heavy duty case if you are willing to pay shipping. There are also lens covers made of soft rubber and a cleaning cloth. I mentioned these items because I could find no information about what was included other than a display case. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my purchase.

Received my new Zeiss Terra ED 10x42 binoculars today and compared them to the Nikon 7295 Monarch ATB 10x42 binoculars I've been using since June of 2010, both in a half-hour of watching the House sparrows across the street in the lilacs and using them for about an hour at one of my favorite near-by birding locations. The brightness of both binoculars is about the same, very good for both, but the Zeiss have a very noticeable edge in clarity. I can see fine details of the birds' feather patterns with the Zeiss that I cannot with the Nikons, helping to distinguish between all those troublesomely similar sparrows. The binocs seem solid and well-made, and adjustments and focusing are smooth. For the price these a GREAT binocs. I'm very pleased so far! Unfortunately, my wife also likes them a lot so I've a feeling I'll be using the old Nikons until I can afford another pair of Zeiss. Such is life...

The optics are very good, especially for the price. The adjustable eye-cups help a lot, and these binocs focus really well. The lens guards are slightly clunky but that doesn't really get in the way. I would have liked a more robust case as well, but again, not really a problem.

Excellent binoculars for the money. Sharp, clear, lots of light. A nice size and not too heavy. Can wear all day. I had these in 8 x 42 and love having the extra power, 10X 42, in the same size as the 8's. Great for birding.

Amazing

great binoc for price, quality is top notch, clear and bright

The binoculars are terrific, but the dealer from whom I bought them was terrible. The first two items (the binocular holder for tripods and the Zeiss maintenance kit, were advertised as part of the product as seen in the third photo and the individual photos in the posting. They were NOT sent. Buy the binoculars, BUT, do NOT buy from Defender Outdoors LLC as they will not send all the items as advertised.

Crystal clear fairly light weight binoculars great for bird watching well worth considering they are not made by Zeiss but use their optics

Made right choice buying these binoculars was going to buy bushnell ultra hd about $70 cheaper but after reading all reviews here and trying my buddies Zeiss Ed decided to get these they are nice and clear and no strain on my eyes now not like the old cheap ones I have before I got these don't hesitate and buy them Amazon has the best price by far all other places

لماذا كل هذا العناء

A trustworthy name and terrific product. Well worth the money

Fabulous. My husband was very particular about the type of binocular, and loves these. Very clear
