This review is from: Alpen SHASTA RIDGE 10x42 Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular (Electronics)

I have always had problems with binoculars, and I always figured it was because I had a vision problem in one eye and that must have affected my viewing through the tubes.

WRONG!

I had just been too cheap to but good binoculars. I bought these for my wife, and I could not believe that I could actually use them as well. These are great for all purposes. We both love them, I need to get another pair!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of bang for the buck, January 10, 2009

Over the years, I've owned dozens of binoculars, pricewise these are in the middle, but for performance they are much closer to the top. I don't recall exactly what I paid, I think a little over $200 I have owned and still do own several different 10x42 roof prism models including Nikon Monarch, Sightron, Pentax, Swift, Bushnell Legands, and others, none that grab more often than these. I just like them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent optics for the money!, August 2, 2008

My wife got me a set of compact Alpen binoculars for Christmas. They are great for what they are, small, easy to pack binoculars. When I read a very positive review for full size Alpens in a major outdoor magazine, I decided to shop for full size Alpens. These are an excellent value for the money, very comfortable, great light gathering and just plain FUN. I'm not a pro but, for the money these seem to compare favorably with some of the much more "famous" import brands with the big price tags.
