This binoculars is immediately noticeable positive, once you unpack it and picks it up. It is somewhat difficult, in that it has a metal case, but I can see that as an advantage of, because by the weight one is less prone to camera shake. Processing and Design, are not to be outdone, even the nameplate and the eyes bezel are made of metal. I've owned several binoculars, these were all made of plastic and not seemed so high and accurate. 199 euros is indeed a lot of money, but who appreciates quality, should strike here, because for that price you get a lot of binoculars. The image quality and the field of view, as well as focusing, strap, all this makes me happy. Even an original signature on the German quality testing paper, where there is such a thing?
