The binoculars are rubberized anti-slip and immediately reminded me of the handles of my Nikon cameras.
It is thus very comfortable to hold and is not too difficult.
Dust inclusions or similar optical quirks I could not find on this unit.
Even the strap was not frayed. How long the hold is still out put. This collar can also repurpose into a shoulder strap for the storage bag.
All setting wheels run smooth as silk, especially the focus wheel. That should also, because this is also widely used and should therefore also be operated with one finger, what it does well. Water tightness is given, as opposed to even more expensive models of the company, not just spray and water tightness is given, but: I'm tester, I also really famous: I have the part from 18.00 clock until the next day about 07.00 clock sunk into the two-meter-deep pool. No Problem!
It now no concerns with the Vanguard to binoculars the superclass but is priced to settle more in the lower midfield. All the more surprised me but then the optical quality of this device. No vignetting were discernible. Throughout the field of vision of this binocular is knackscharf.
Although there is one more among the daylight binoculars, I once waited until it was night, and lo and behold, here too it is reflected not bad. Logically, there is no night vision, but if enough residual light is still present, can also be seen there still so much -D is particularly good here is that no stray light is noticeable if you want to see something on the edge of a light source.
The only complaint is that the front lenses are provided with a protective rubber, which is attached to the glass. That is, let down take and hang. The rear glass cover on the other hand you really have to then fasten the belt. But I do not need straps! So I have the back cover getting stuck in your pocket so as not to lose.
Biss'l goofy. But no reason to deductions in the B-Note.
So I can, even in the face of the current price, recommend these binoculars without restrictions. If there are still any defects become apparent in retrospect, I will, as always, immediately report it and correct the star number, if necessary. At the moment, but it's worth it full 5 stars.
