A tiny treat!5
I wanted a nice small pair of binoculars I could toss in my bag (or pocket) and take anywhere and these more than fill that function. But I bought it elsewhere and spent $5.00 more on them and $2.00 more than Amazon charges for shipping, oh woe!

But these are tiny and delightful! I don't feel any click stop anything for focusing. Just turn the smoothly adjusting eyepieces and get a sharp view. Both sides adjust fully so you can set them perfectly. They are not very bright but you can't expect that from 16 / 6 = 2.6666666666666666666666666666667 call it 3 when for bright you want a 5.

These seem very nice and sharp to me and they are fraction of my 7 x 35s in size. I think I could fit 4 or 5 of them into my 7 x 35's case. For astronomy the 7 x 35s, for everything else, these are magnificent IMHO.

I've read all over where people say that the frequency of use is inverse to the size and difficulty of setting up or carrying around the optics, be they telescopes or binoculars. These are super easy to carry along and use, so I'm sure they will be used the most of any of the binoculars and telescope I own.

The construction seems to be all metal and rubber about the grips and fold down eyecups. The glass seems to be fully coated with a blue cast, beats me what that is.

Would I do it again? In a flat second. I love them and I'll bet my wife will love them too!

Pretty good binoculars3
They are small enough to fit in your pocket to take anywhere. I have used them in the theatre and outdoor shows and they serve the purpose. For prolonged use you might need to look elsewhere.
