Acquired as a lightweight compact glass for traveling, walks, times observe fast in the garden a few animals. Here, the 8x magnification compared to the 10x25 the calmer image. Here too with 8x been the heartbeat can bring some anxiety into the picture. The glass is inside absolutely dust-free and super clean. Optics, sharpness, brightness of the image, marketability of the focusing wheel, diopter compensation, processing, minimum focusing distance, everything was great. The eyepiece is simply impractical. The supplied bag is not padded and more of the cheap workmanship. Here, I'll get me something from the accessories trade. For storage in the house but this is sufficient. While staying in the garden I park the glass just in a plastic bag. When focus in the "distant", then I discovered quite a bit of fat (quasi inside the case.) In the vicinity of this area is covered by the propelled forward look. So the fat clean out wiped with a cotton swab. But of fat every dirt, dust, pollen adheres naturally particularly well. This of course is extremely disadvantageous and is likely to affect the long-term ease / Cleanliness ?. The BID is already enormous for the price. An 8x20 or 8x25 glass of other manufacturers cost there before 10 times, with Nikon itself also offers high-grade lenses. Whether for occasional use but must each make with themselves necessary. It would be better even if the sling swivels 3/8 would wide. (Usual width with DSLR camera strap.) Unfortunately, these are only 1/4 wide. Rich so only for very narrow belts. Have observed in flight, while these insects near the surface began with the glass Swallows. What can I say: It was even possible for me the birds in flight through refocus, mostly to keep sharp eye. Just great. The glass is really fun. Buy recommendation !! Much binoculars for relatively little money. The glass gets 4.5 stars, its included accessories only 3 stars Matching pocket found on glass: Cullmann Panama Vario 100 camera / camcorder bag in black
