Affordable for any and all interested in magnifying life to its fullest.

Tech Talk
Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image.
Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.
Porro Prism System: In porro prism binoculars the objective or front lens is offset from the eyepiece. Porro prism binoculars provide greater depth perception and generally offer a wider field of view.
Customer Reviews
Pretty good for what I use it for
I got this binocular because of a lack of selection at any local stores here, even though I can't find reviews for it hoping they would turn out good.
It turned out nice, and works good for what I use it for (watching animals from far off, zooming in on the golfers at a near by course, some minor astonomy...). Being a zoom binocular they probably aren't as sharp as set magnification ones, but that doesn't matter to me for what I use it for.
It seems to be a good all around binocualar: easy to get it focused, good range, not too heavy, works decent enough in low light, plus it comes with a really nice leather carry bag.
Only downside I found is that the zoom switch jammed on the 1st one I got, and I had to return it for a new one, and the zoom on the new one is a little shoddily made aswell.
Dissapointing
HArd to tell if the product is a advertized, However I am dissapointed in the clarity of images and the lack of ability to focus. The binoculars do`not seem to adjust to a small face for children or females. making it difficult to look directly through the lenses. Zoom levels and brightness of images are acceptable.
