This is my real surprise for a low cost bino, for some it may be a bit on the large and heavy side but the wide view, great contrast and color with good edge sharpness is very impressive, the eye cups have three settings, (inclusive of closed for eyeglasses) the focus wheel is firm with a bit of backlash, but for the price meh, not a problem. The diopter requires some finger strength to pull up but the focus travel is firm not loose, push back down with a solid click and it is set.
These are very bright also and handle glare well, and the sweet spot is large. So much more but just getting the handle on these and really enjoying them.
The eyecups and objective covers could be better, but then for < $160.00 you cannot go wrong.
I want to thank Barry on this one, I am eating some crowe, he recommended these and I was apprehensive, took a chance and now have a nice glass at a great value.
