Product Description

The Galileo G-104060 Zoom binocular will zoom from 10x power to 40x power simply by pushing a lever conveniently placed right at your finger tips. Massive 60mm objectives ensure bright images, and the BAK-4 prisms provide clarity and a higher level of contrast than with standard BK 7 prisms. Galileo Zoom binoculars are extremely versatile adapting to any situation. At a football game for instance survey the entire field and then zoom in on the quarterback. When using binoculars you never know how far away you will be from the object or it's exact size. Zoom binoculars give you the ability to overcome these varying conditions and create the clarity and detail you need in your image. Designed for years of use, all Galileo binoculars come with a lifetime warranty.

3.0 out of 5 stars out of collimation; otherwise pretty good, January 11, 2008

I would have really liked these but they were just a bit too far out of collimation for me to be happy. I returned them to Amazon.

I got these because I wanted something a bit more powerful, and I had previously bought Galileo's C-8x24-50, which I love more and more as they are bright and clear, and what I'm starting to realize is in super collimation, and also a great buy thru Amazon/Prime. I use them for amateur wildlife viewing and amateur astronomy. For astronomy at high zoom, the image is a bit shaky without some form of steadyment, but that's not the binoculars fault.

I guess it's just hit or miss as to whether you get a good set or not?? Too bad. If I were to get a pair of these 104060's in good collimation, they'd be a great binocular that I would be very happy with.

Collimation is a apparently big problem with binoculars. Over the years having different sets, I used to think it was just me but now I know the difference a well calibrated set makes from my 82450. (It's also too bad there is no user collimation adjustment on these things.)

I tried Barska's 20x100-70 but they were in way worse collimation, basically not even looking at the same thing with each half! I don't think I'd like the Barska even in good collimation as the image seemed smaller and dimmer than the Galileo even at low zoom.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor optics, October 19, 2008

I've owned a variety of binoculars including several zoom models, and these were by far the worst. The set I got could not focus clearly on either eye even at minimum zoom, and just plain horrible when zoomed even 20x. I'm not talking about stability without a tripod, that's an issue with any zoom. Mount these in cement block and they couldn't get clear focus at a modest zoom level, at least the pair I got. So, I've returned them, the first time ever for me in countless Amazon orders over the years.
