Product Description

Our Savannah roof prism binoculars have always been the binoculars of choice for serious birders, wildlife watchers, and anyone who wants a premium-quality field glass. Credit their uncompromising optics, which are fully multi-coated with anti-reflection materials to minimize light loss, their long eye relief, and their all-weather 100% waterproof/nonfogging design. And now you can add one more: optical phase-correction coating. Our sophisticated phase coatings, applied to the roof prism surface, pull the light paths into lockstep, the result being reduced internal glare and greatly enhanced contrast and resolving power. Includes a threaded tripod adapter socket, soft case, wide neck strap, and lens caps. Two-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best birding binoculars for the price, November 7, 2005

This review is from: Orion Savannah 8x42 Phase-Coated Waterproof Binoculars (Electronics)

These binoculars compare well to other models for twice or three times the price. I am glad I bought them and have used mine for years without trouble. I wouldn't get cheaper binoculars than these if you want to do birding since you do need a good image. Some people get 10 x 43 for birding to get a larger image but then you need steadier hands to keep the image from being shakey. Since you might loose your binoculars on a trip - might as well loose some that are $350 instead of $1600.
