If luggage weight and size don't concern you, then the Imagic would be a great binocular on safari or to take camping, otherwise you may wish to consider a slightly more compact binocular.

Next to the Vortex Stokes and the Steiner Sky Hawk this is one of the biggest disappointments in our test. A steep price and a small field of view suggested we might get an excellent product with a faultless, bright and sharp up to the edge field of view. Unfortunately it is not the case.

My previous binocs were 10 x42, and took the advice that 8x42 produce a steadier image with a wider more usable view, and a bit more brightness to the image is just noticable, and this is certainly the case, all round a much easier viewing experience.

Tried someone's Leicas at the sailing club and blown away by their brightness. I couldn't even consider Leica and even these seemed a bit extravagant but had great reviews. I haven't compared them next to the Leicas but very pleased as they are really comfortable to look through and small enough to...

buying a second set one, each now

Been looking for decent binoculars for a while, whilst out walking a very kind lady let me use hers to view Ospreys. The binoculars are lightweight compared to others and very clear and precise when using them. Would highly recommend these.

I have reduced vision in one eye that makes binocular use distracting. I returned my first, smaller, lower power monocular since there was not enough magnification. While this one is much larger, it has good optics and provides adequate magnification for me - both for trail use and for concerts.

An excellent monocular for those like me without binocular vision. Saves on weight and cost, and a very good view with no colour distortion, no perceivable barrel or pincushion distortion, just a very clear image (the 42mm objective helps)
