I usually am a review reader not writer But I felt these binoculars were worthy of me dropping a few lines ! Being a "Pack-in" Hunter (most week-ends) I was looking for a compact/Hi quality binocular that will do well in low light conditions. Price was no object but it was ! I want the best "Bang for my buck" that I can get !! I Started off with a pair of Steiner 10X25 predators'. While not bad pair of Noc's they are nothing to write home about either. Next I tried a pair of 10X25 Swarovski's . A vastly better pair of noc's than the Steiner's (Low light and over all) still the light gathering ability wasn't there for dusk and dawn viewing. Now I know that 25mm objective lens is not best suited for low light but, I had to go to the top end and try them... Having counter tried about every top end noc's out there and searched birding forums hunting forums ect. ect. I ran across these Kowa's quite by chance . Having used a Kowa spotting scope a few years back and loved it . I thought if they make binoculars as good as there spotting scopes these baby's will be the ticket !! I tried to put my hands on them locally to try them out but could not find a pair. So the order was on ! I am so glad I did these Kowa's will hold there own with ANY 10X32's made !! Let alone there 1/3 the price of some !! Bright, clear ,very wide viewing angle. Small and light . What more could a hunter ask for !! 5 stars from me... William Powell

Review! Share your experiences!

Hi, just want to say that I fully agree. The reviewing section of this forum is pitiful, given all those experienced users out here. Go on, tell us your experience!

There must be several users for each major bino in here!

To the moderators: Please clean up there, too. There are empty reviews and several entries for the same binoculars under slightly variant names and some names are incomplete ... (You could also hunt for pictures ...)
