The jump from the $20-$30 binoculars to an entry level Nikon is amazing. The Nikon is clearer, sharper and much brighter. although not equally as sharp at the edges as the center the difference is only slight. Focus is quick and easy to obtain.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Close Focus

HIgh quality. Extremely high clarity.

The amount of light these draw in...morning or evening; They are also water proof and fog proof

The covers are all seperate pieces so you have more to keep up with or loose; It's a little bulky for hunting compared to what is available, but that hasn't bothered me in the field so far

Purchased this item on sale and with the mail in rebate will come out to a bargain. Images are sharp and clear (esp for night viewing) thanks to the 50mm objectives and the multicoated optics. I use this item primarily for astronomy.

I use them for all sorts. From sky gazing to wildlife...

Nice and compact; The lenses are superb!

They are slightly

I use them for all sorts. From sky gazing to wildlife spotting, to a day on the beach. Impressive binoculars.

Nice and compact; The lenses are superb! I can use them whilst wearing my specs and they are built to last

They are slightly heavier than I expected

After a lot of research I bought these and they lived up to the reviews I have previously read. The night sky is amazing through these bins.

bought this style because of faith full Nikon person only problem I had was eye relief piece fell off on a hunting trip I sent to Nikon repair in L A calif they wouldn't repair for free only a year old

right for the money

a bit heavy

I bought these for use on field studies with high school biology students. They are great for the price and are durable.

Great pair of binoculars this ! Amazing clarity, very comfortable in the hand, and a great thing to have when you don't have a super-zoom lens !
