I'm out in the woods and need often the glass archery for evaluation of results. It fulfills its purpose perfectly. Previously had a small 8x25 in use, but that is no comparison. Sharpness and light output are perfectly in this Nikon 8x42. Am absolutely satisfied. The Okularabdeckungen are anyway almost every glass poorly rated. I just need the top cover, and I've fixed round cords with two short black rubber and not work as intended on the belt. The lid holds now neat and does not fall off, and if necessary the eyepiece is folded up again only with a handle or down.
