5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING VALUE., October 16, 2002

This review is from: Celestron Ultima Series Binoculars 10X50 (Electronics)

I have owned my ULTIMA 10x50's for going on 4 years. Fully multi-coated lenses and BAK-4 prisms. Optical quality is superior for both day and night use. With reasonable care, your grandchildren will be enjoying them. Only fault I can find is the soft nylon case provided. (I like the hard cases of old) Theses will serve you well, from sneeking a peek at distant wildlife, catching the "N" number on that funny looking plane or binocular astronomy....and NO, I do not work for Celestron.

5.0 out of 5 stars 8x40 version of these fine binoculars., September 11, 2002

This review is from: Celestron Ultima Series Binoculars 10X50 (Electronics)

I own the 8x40 version of these fine binoculars. The image quality is better than many much more expensive units. If you don't want to spring for the extra cost of image stablization, the 8x40 Ultima binoculars are an excellent choice.

PRO
Decent low light capability.
Good compromise size if you can only own one pair.
Excellent optics - Fully Multicoated with BAK-4 Prisms.
Classic design for enhanced stereo effect.
Convienient center focus wheel.
Short close focus distance.
Easy to hand hold for extended periods of time.

CON
Poor strap on case.
Not waterproof, a limitation of the center focus design not a flaw with this model.
