Bought these for NFL games.

zoom binoculars are inherently bad, 24x25 is so dark, it is close to unusuable. Buy these expecting 8-16x25 and you won't be dissappointed.

Field of view is small, but that is b/c they are zoom binos.

For the price, might as well buy 'em.

If you can afford better ones, go ahead, but the difference in quality isn't worth the difference in price IMO.

After a year, these are a fine replacement for our older, smaller 'zoomer'.

Minis dictate a small lense which means a narrow field of view. And so high magnification can make it hard to zero in on an object, Additionally, normal hand tremor is more problimatic at high magnification.

This Zoom seems ideal for finding the target at low [but still useful] magnification & then with one finger zoom up to what's best for you.

And, for me at least, any higher magnification would require a trypod.



July 2010; after a 2nd year I'm sad to report a flaw developed after only moderate usage.
The fold-down 'rubber?' eye pieces gave out at the folds.

Still, at $50 I consider them a good deal though I'm mow glad I didn't give them as a gift - my original intention.

Was disappointed at first when I found out it only zooms on one side but after using them It made it easy to put them on target buy finding with the 8x and switching to the 24x after you find what your looking for
