good optics for little money

So: I have in my youth only those old, huge binoculars held in his hands (Poroprismen), with large, wide-set objectives. This allows me never actually managed to achieve a good overlap of the two fields of view, actually I would want permanently so closely set that my nose would not have fitted in between. Constant was one of the two fields of view completely black (if you're not into looking at the perfect angle). And a real showy augmentation I have therefore not noticed. The theme binoculars (= binocular) was thus actually for me by because I have rather looked through the lens reflex optical system.

Now my son has requested a pair of binoculars. Children Binoculars also cost almost EUR 20 but I did not want to spend on something inferior (Who buys cheap, buys twice), because I have 49 EUR for this glass perceived as favorable. So I ordered (encouraged by the good reviews here) two Pentax 8x21 UCF R, a stop for me. And am very impressed. Small, light (but just not feather), good feel. And: Great look. It allows me to really see things or read Scripture that I could not decipher without the glass. With the overlap of the visual field and I have no problems in spite of the lenses inset there is a clear stereoscopic effect. This image is pretty sharp. The handling and the function I'm 100% satisfied.

Little things: The bag is only a thin shell (without mounting possibility for a belt etc), but naturally extends entirely as protection from. The supplied strap is attached directly to the binoculars either the left or right lens: This might be desired for opera glasses, I'm going to but surely set a strap that is attached to both sides of the binoculars.

All in all: 5 stars.
