This review is from: Meade Travel View 8-17X25 Compact Zoom Porro Prism Binocular (Electronics)

I wanted to purchase some compact, lightweight binoculars for multi-use. I travel a lot, go to NFL games a lot, go to plays (with my wife) a lot and wanted something that was versatile in application and easy to place in my pocket or luggage. I have found these binoculars by Meade to be the ticket. Lower power for the casual and normal viewing. Great for the balcony in the theater. Zoom to high power, with a lot less light loss than I expected, for the NFL games in the stadium (handy for viewing the cheerleaders...). These compacts are rubber coated for true grasp and also helps keep light inclimate weather off too. Zoom control is handy and easy to move. I keep them with me almost always. I am into backyard astronomy and have telescopes and large binoculars. I have found that Meade products have never done me wrong. So I applied that logic to this purchase and found that again Meade has held true to form. I shopped around for these very binoculars and various other brands and zoom powers in a compact. If you are looking for a great name in optics, a great compact zoomer at the best price available. This is the one. Have fun.
