As "entry level binoculars" perfectly adequate. It is excellent in hand, the rubber surface provides a good grip. The imaging characteristics are excellent. Details of objects are reproduced even under less than optimal lighting conditions and contrast without color fringes. The "crisp" sharpness looks natural and not strenuous. Ago designed weight that a longer object observation is possible without any further plagued by aching muscles. Despite the abysmal solution for covering the front lens binoculars I forgive 5 Stars.
