I bought this pair of binoculars because of ratings and am very satisfied. I am a layman in the field and evaluation of binoculars. However, I have previously made myself clever in the appropriate forums and these binoculars with 8x Vergrößereung is perfectly adequate for leisure and vacation in my opinion. The glass is relatively light and feels good in your hand. However, the protection cover are already in need of improvement, which has been so criticized in the other reviews. Therefore, no full marks.
