I bought these binoculars as I was looking for a new pair of good quality bin,s for birdwatching on a budget.Having searched a long time for a pair of roof prism's at around £100 + for a half decent pair, I was amazed by the quality and of the optics and the price of these porro prism bins. The sharpness, brightness & colour rendition is superb, a real testament to the optical quality. I can't imagine how I managed to live with my previous bin's for so long. The feel of these bin's is solid and well built, being very comfortable in the hand, if a little on the heavy side. They come with a comfortable neck strap and a soft case, although the case annoyingly doesn't have a neck strap. The body is fully rubber armorred & although not stated as being waterproof, I have found them to be very durable when out in the field. The focusing mechanism is very simple to use and really smooth. It doesn't need constant readjustment like some bin's. All in all a really good pair of binoculars at a real steal of a price. They perform much better than many more expensive binoculars that I have tried. I would recommend buying these even if you own other bin's as will make an excellent back up pair.
