5.0 out of 5 stars the best binoculars, February 17, 2007
By Leon Gnat (Boynton Beach, Fl) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These binoculars are the best I've ever owned, the view is cristal clear and focusing is easy to operate. I like the way the strap is engineered to go through the pouch. This item is so small that it fits into a pocket or pocketbook. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the outdoors or even in concert hall. You can see features and details that other binoculars would miss and it is so light, less than a pound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed, July 4, 2007
I ordered these binoculars for birdwatching with my 5 year old grandson and they are a perfect size for both of us and very light weight. They are easy to adjust and just what I was looking for so we could use them together. These were recommended by Consumer Reports as a Best Buy and they had compared them to other more expensive models - so I was really pleased that they were very affordable.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Gift, May 12, 2007
By NZ (East Rockaway, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This was purchased as a gift for a Red Sox fan. Needless to say the binoculars have been to every home game since April. They are easy to operate, the clarity is excellent, and if wearing glasses, there is no problem with scratching.
The binoculars are light, fit in your pocket. A great deal!
