Review: Great well built proforming binos - These are very well built have a satisfying weight too them , feel great in the ✋ very clear sharp look at the View, the front lens caps are attatched so you can just take them off and let them dangle down they wont get in the way , the rear caps have a storm split in them , the idea been you put the neck strap through the slit , so when u take the back caps off A you dont lose them / or its a lot lot harder to lose them , and B. When it starts to rain u can quickly place them back over to prevent any water hitting an ruining the back lens .when you first try too individualise the focus , it really comes in handy having the front lens caps attatched , just place the right lens cap over the right lens this allows full control over your binos look through at something about 60 / 100 yards away and use the focus wheel at the centre to get the best clear sharp views u can , when u have achieved this let it alone then remove the right cap , and place the left cap over the left lens , look at the same or roughly the same spot , but this time use the dioptic wheel on the right lens to focus this eye when you have achevied perfect sharp clear image stop remove lens cap and enjoy the new world binos offer , you won't have to touch the focus wheels again now , well unless some little sod lol changes them too suit their 👀 both sets off caps fit reassuringly well to the binoculars, not so tight they are a pain to get off . but provide a good reassuring grab that they won't just fall off , the case they come in is a soft shell case imho well built too im happy with the quality of the case , would recommend these binos happy i got them , but i did get mine for 59 pound over the christmas season deals , if you buy these from desertcart you can send them back no quibble at no fuss from one off there many many drop off places. , which makes trying these at 120.00 risk free imo the build is there the quality sharp view is there , the excellent magnification is there also the fantastic little detail touches that make these an absolute pleasure to use / utilise , i didnt find the weight heavy too have around neck or in the hand for any extended time great buy for me 😃
Review: Great Quality, Good Image Sharpness, Fabulous Price - I ordered these binoculars for my wife as since retiring, we have recently returned to birdwatching. She found the traditional side prism type too cumbersome, and did not close up enough for her to comfortably look through. We chose these as a result of the high level of good reviews, and apparent value for money. We have not been disappointed! When they arrived the first thing that we noticed was that they are much bigger than desertcart's photo suggests, and the heavy feel of them adds to the perception of quality. I own a pair of VERY expensive Leica's and comparing the image quality can see no appreciable difference, though I am sure an expert could. We can highly recommend them to anybody looking for a pair of general purpose binoculars and if I needed another pair would be have no hesitation in opting for these. The one thing that you do have to remember is that they are NOT waterproof and so precautions need to be taken not to get them soaked in heavy rain. desertcart do not make it clear but they do come in a very nice bag and have a basic neck strap too

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small, powerful and high quality binoculars
*by M***K on 16 April 2013*

Bought these after lots of research and deliberations. From some of the other views I was unsure that i'd made the right choice but am pleased to say my worries were unfounded. These binoculars are well made, light and yet sturdy to handle, easy to use and have great clarity for lenses this size. The focus is easy and sharp (some said the adjustment was too sensitive but I did not find that at all). For a pocket pair of binoculars used for occasional or sporting use these are just what you need.
