5.0 out of 5 stars Novice Bird Watcher's Comments, March 22, 2006

By	William A. Hites "Will" (TX, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The quality is very high for the cost. These are very portable/ well-made despite the weight. I will note that if you are going to use binoculars with this mm magnification, you should use a tripod attachment to stabilize them to avoid getting a headache. They are great for getting close-up views to perched birds or other animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice binoculars!, December 19, 2008

By	D. Woods (Wyoming, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just bought a set of these very recently, and I really like them! The optics are top notch, the focus controls are smooth & precise, and even with the large 50mm objective lenses, they are quite easy & comfortable to handle. Like the other reviewer here said, they are a bit large (50mm lenses are that way), so long periods of use are best done when using a tripod. But, once you have a tripod adapter, these binoculars are ready to mount for long, comfortable viewing. The 4.1 mm exit pupil size makes them reasonably bright for early morning/evening use, as well as star gazing (the Orion nebula is quite clear with these binoculars)!
