"i don't know what firm is.and the only specification are on the lens.If you know to interprate this: 7*119 m and 20 * 156 m and the lens diameter is 50mm.It have a adjustment buton for diopter +/- on the right sight.that's all
"

The problem is i don't know much fings about binoculars so i ask you guys:

It's a good binocular for this price?Can you give me a link with a similar product?

Odd numbers. At first I thought it was a 7-20x zoom. If that is the case, they are not very good. But whatever they are, you need to test them. Look at some sparrows or starlings in the street. If you can focus and see a sharp image, they may work.

Try them, read street signs and street numbers.

Looks like field of view (FOV) 7 degrees / 112metres (works out at about that for 112m/1000m), but what the 20* is I cant work out.

As Luca says, try em ;)

Hi wizi,

You MUST try them out first. Not just for 5 minutes or so, ask your friend if you can borrow them for a day or half a day. That way you can make sure they have the quality you expect and are not overpriced. That way you will avoid any future disappointments.
