From 4 meters to infinity this provides clear, bright magnification and definition which is a delight to use. The cord makes it useful to hang around your neck or hook onto a jacket and the soft, supple leather pouch protects it well. But what is always striking with Zeiss is the brightness in shadows and the unrivaled edge to edge clarity. You can;t change some things -- a monocular unless braced against the cheekbone moves more than binoculars, the exit pupil is not as large but those are just the limitations of physics. You can read flight boards at airports or see the intricate ceiling designs or amusing gargoyles at cathedrals and what makes that visible is so small you won;t know you are carrying it.

There are situations where it is inconvenient to bring a set of binoculars, and that is why I purchased this item. It fits nicely in a briefcase, and provides that "bionic eye" effect when you see something that you want to get a better look at, and wish you had something to look at it closer with at a moment. I enjoy its quality, and the nice leather pouch it came with. I know that given its quality, I will have it for man years. Only problem is that it is EXPENSIVE!

Not sure if it is worth over $300, but the clarity is great. It should be waterproof though.
