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

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.

Works good at 10X,but the more zoom you use the harder it is to focus.At 30X almost impossible to focus.
