Unbelievable Service

After having waited 2 plus weeks for another supplier to provide my binoculars and their not being able to tell me when the goods might arrive, I turned to Mark at Smifu. He was professional, did not give me false hopes, and checked availability - in contrast to the other supplier!

The Canon 15x50 IS All Weather binoculars will set you back a hefty sum (£676), but they're worth every penny if you're an outdoors enthusiast. With 50mm lens and a whopping 15x magnification, they don't come much better than this.

Loved them but...

The image stabilization works beautifully and for viewing game at high power and long ranges it is essential. I really was amazed at the stabilization. I did not feel however that the optics quality and clarity was up to the price tag!

no lens covers; strange eye cups

Not as good as I was hoping.

I am rather disappointed with their performance. I bought them for birding lakes and estuaries to replace my trusty Zeiss West 15x60 binoculars. The problem is I can no longer hand-hold 15x steady enough to get the benefit of the high magnification.
