2.0 out of 5 stars Tasco Essentials 10-30X50 Binoculars, December 14, 2009

This is a cheap product, so not much can be expected. Optics are poor, and even in tropical sunlight (I am using them in Cartagena, Colombia) images are dull with little resolution.
The zoom function does not permit a smooth transition when it is being adjusted.
My recommendation to prospective buyers is to spend more for better quality zoom binoculars, or to stick with fixed 7 X 50 or 10 X 50 models and invest in better optics.
More care needs to be taken with the packing - my binoculars arrived with one of the object lens tubes bent out of its mounting on the prism case. Fortunately the threads were only slightly deformed and I was able to re-assemble the binicoulars satisfactorily.

The binoculars have a clear image. Definitely worth buying, although there are a few things to consider:

- The zip focus feature means that a small focus adjustment goes a long way. Without a steady hand, getting focused perfectly at 30x zoom is difficult
- The field of view is fairly narrow at 10x zoom

Very good purchase. Went on vacation to Alaska and the binoculars were just the ticket for spotting wildlife.
