Message: <blockquote data-quote="typo" data-source="post: 3399307" data-attributes="member: 83808">A few years ago I bought a £17/$25 10x42 roof. It had been recommended as a bargain by a couple of people on the forum and curiosity got the better of me. At a pinch it's surprisingly usable but unsurprisingly, colour, brightness, contrast etc. are not very good. It also has the worst resolution and more importantly effective resolution of any binocular I've tested by some margin. It might supprise some, but someone with 20/20 vision will see as much detail with this horror as an Habicht, SE or anything else. However they might notice deficiencies in other characteristics including perceived sharpness though.David</blockquote>
