I bought the 'Festival Glass' my mother for her birthday. She had wanted an opera glass, so I rummaged in Amazon. Actually I wanted to buy a gold, typical opera glass, but was then put off by the bad reviews and have bought this. It convinces with good quality, sufficient sharpness (adjustable). It is supplied in a small bag. The festival glass is handy, not too heavy and easy to stow in your purse. If you sit with it but in an opera, musicals, theatrical performance; it looks more like this, as if to thus observe animals in the forest) Otherwise, it's a really small practical helper. Highly Recommended! For eyeglass wearers can turn inside the rubber pads on the eye too!
