Very impressed. Sharpness in center not unlike my Trinovids. Field curvature, but that's the nature of binoculars. Light, handy, great eye relief, well built. Unreal for only a hundred bucks. Don't hesitate. They do the job well. 5

Lightweight, hand holdable and nice sharp images. I LIKE them! 5

I wanted a pair of low magnification, wide-angled binoculars for star gazing with my 5 yr old granddaughter. I decided to give these a try and I am very happy with them. They are very easy to hold steady due to the low magnification and the wide angle of view is perfect for star gazing. Waterproof construction and very good eye relief are icing on the cake. 5

I own Swarovski EL 8.5x42 and Nikon HG 8x42. I know a good pair of binoculars when I see one. I purchased 6x30 because of 5mm exit pupil and 20mm eye relief- same number as my Swarovski EL. The view through this tiny binocular was very good indeed. Field curvature was gradual and not distracting at all. It's a cute little bino that feels good in your hand. 5

If you need a very high quality, lightweight porro prism binocular, then these are the ones you need to buy. These are my hiking binos, which replaced much heavier and larger binos. The image in these binos are big, bright, and sharp. If I could make one observation, it's the eye relief is a bit too long in that you cannot rest your eyes on the fully extended eye cups. I highly recommend this bino. 5

Excellent optics for the money. Very light weight, the lower magnification gives you a steady image. I'm finding I prefer these to my current roof prisms. It seems the focus is more forgiving and I find I have to fiddle with it less on the porro prisms. I am loving the wide field of view and my vision requires a ridiculous amount of eye relief, which these have plenty. Great binoculars for a beginner for all these reasons. Very happy with my purchase and B&H is a great company to order from. 5
