This is the first piece of professional binocular that I bought, after having gone through 2-3 cheap ones. Simply put, I am impressed by the quality of the product. The built quality seems pretty good, and the rubbery non-clip coating feels good in the hands. The part that I like about it is that once set your eyes, you do not need to refocus again. The lens clarity is also exceptional, and these comes with the coatings that makes the animals stand out amongst the foliage.
I am going to Yellowstone National Park next month which will give me a good opportunity to try out these binoculars.
The only con that I feel so far is that the carrying case provided with the binocular doesn't come with straps, and so I might end up spending a few more $$ on a good bag.

Love the autofocus and the coating is great. It doesn't color the image but makes animals pop. Worth the buy.

Neither my lady friend nor I was comfortable with the eye cups which let in too much light or the focus. Returned these binos and tried pairs of Pentax and Nikon. Ultimately selected the 12x42 Nikon Monarch ATB

Bought these for viewing deers & rabbits in my backyard. Its just amazing how the animals just 'pop-up' in the foliage esp. the rabbits. Never come so close to a rabbit in the wild without it running away.

The ruggedness is a plus point and makes you feel the money put into it is well worth it.

All in all its a great product and it is highly recommended for nature lovers!

Binoculars are good quality but Amazon did not include the case advertised in the shipment, otherwise it would have been a better purchase
