The Bresser 11x56 Special hunting is a medium sized binoculars with excellent ratio Magnification / Aperture. Astronomical objects such as the Orion Nebula can be well observed so that no problems, the light intensity is sufficient for such tasks easy. Even for evening tours, it is very well suited. The price-performance ratio is very good for a pair of binoculars of this class. The weight is less than I would have expected at this size, and also allows for longer observations. I have been looking for a pair of binoculars with this price / performance ratio and am completely satisfied. The statements made in the product catalog Bresser statements about the areas of application of this glass are consistent with my experiences match (everything except walking - and it sure is not too heavy, but rather to large). The Repair of Bresser works in warranty cases extremely fast and well (Express pickup and -zuürcksendung, each a day). Conclusion: Everything you want as an amateur binoculars owner!
