This review is from: Alpen RAINIER 10x42 Waterproof, Long Eye Relief, BAK4 Binoculars (Electronics)

I was pleasantly pleased with the quality of this binocular. It was bright and clear with edge to edge sharpness. Basically the only difference between this binocular and my Zeiss Victory FL which cost about $1000.oo more is that there was a tiny bit of color aberation on the edge of the field of this binocular. But it was sharp from edge to edge. And I would have been exstatic about it had there not appeared on Amazon one I liked even better... A 10x32 Ranier.
