You don't expect much from lower priced zooms, but these binoculars deliver. Crystal clear, smooth controls, very compact and lightweight, and a nice hand with the rubber coated armor. Pentax has always been "The King" of binoculars for those of us on a budget. The only negative is a slight focus shift when zooming the full range, but the easy controls make the small focus adjustment a snap. Would recommend to bird watchers, sports nuts, hunters, etc. Anyone wanting wide ranging and a powerful zoom feature in one small package.
These are as clear as any of my other small bino's I have had. My last 2 were from Germany and they were great! but they were not built very tuff. I had planed on buying another pair. When I found these for the same price(good deal). thought I would try these, I haven't used these much but time will tell. I hope they are more tuff then the others! I only have 1 complaint, the a eye piece focus is a knob that can be pushed in after focusing. Nice but, it pops out every time I use them? It will take a little getting used to. Maybe when I use them more I can figure out how to open them without having this problem? This is why they get 4 stars instead of 5! Other then that, they would get a 5th star! Time will tell?
Weighs nothing, good magnification, clear light transmission. About all one could ask for in a compact binocular.

Received the binoculars this week and gave them a test run in the back woods. I had a similar pair years ago when they were made in Japan. These are made in China. The quality and clarity appear just as good. They are easy to use and the view is crisp and clear. If you're looking for a small pair of binocs that will do the job, check these out.
these binoculars are lightweight and compact, with a rubber armor coating that is scuff resistant and water resistant not waterproof! the rubber eye cups are comfortable and the zoom and focus knobs are easily discernible for zooming or focusing quickly and are great for indoor sporting events, bird watching, outdoor hiking and for checking shooting accuracy on paper targets, I would recommend these highly to anyone who needs a small tough compact fast focusing and zooming binocular.
