This little binocular is excellent and for the money it's a great value. Excellent image quality and ergonomics. Views are sharp with hardly any chromatic aberration. Adjustable eyecups allow appropriate eye relief whether wearing glasses or not. I don't use the objective and eyepiece caps.

I purchased these binoculars for birding use. The reason I was looking at a compact or pocket sized binocular is that I wanted something to carry when traveling. I carry an Olympus m4/3 camera to photograph birds and I did not want to add a lot of size and weight to my camera bag.

They are a very convenient size. For the price range they are clear, sharp and gather light well.

  Used them for horse racing mainly and ideal. You're not too close to the action and field of view is excellent. They are ideally sized: not too big nor too small; not too heavy not too light. I'm only scoring 9 as I expect there are even better bins but I expect at a much heftier price.

  lightweight ideal when walking, 8 x magnification is ideal the field of vision and ease of use is spot on.

• -

  NO

Reasonable quality at distance but close up view is very soft so not useful for intended purpose of insect observation.

  I found these binoculars easy to use and small enough to pop in my pocket on dog walks. I would highly recommend them.

Bought these after reading reviews on specialist Binocular sites. The construction is excellent, the single fold makes getting them on to subject fast and easy and the optics are superb.
