Focus Your Binocular

Use the center focus and diopter to adjust for vision differences in each eye. Choose an object about 20 yards away and perform this two-step process:

  1. Close your right eye or cover the right objective lens with your hand. Look at the object with your left eye and adjust the center focus dial until the image is in focus.
  2. Close your left eye or cover the left objective lens with your hand and rotate the ring until the object is in focus.

    Customers are satisfied with the brightness of the binoculars. They mention that the prism design makes them a good bit brighter, the light gathering power of these binos is awesome, and the 10X mag will hit the sweet spot of amazing low light detail. The advantage is excellent low light performance and crystal clear optic paths that help keep out stray light. The enhanced lens coatings also help make them brighter.

    Really good binos, a couple of issues for me
    3 Stars
    Really good binos, a couple of issues for me
    I just received these and they are really bright and clear. compared to my old German Zeiss, they are just as clear. Just a couple of things that are a small problem - someone on the Amazon Questions said that the harness can be used for the binos or the case - That is not true they do not come with a harness for the binos - I am on here right now to order one. The harness that attaches to the case is not a real harness, in that it still puts the weight on your neck. The 10x50 weighs about twice what my zeiss 7x42 weigh and the case itself weighs maybe 1/2 pound, so that is a lot of weight on the neck. Also there is the question of using the case in the field and taking the glasses out every time you see a bird. I don't think that would work. Maybe for hunting, as their emphasis seems to be hunters. The other issue is that the case has a chemical smell that I don't want under my nose all day. The lense caps are very rubbery smelling, and had to be removed, and the actual binos have a smell from the armoring. I am hoping that will go away soon. But as far as the quality of the lenses - first rate - especially the 10x50, which I am very glad I decided on. It looks like the bird has a light on it. The dials are a little stiff.Edit 2 days later. Removing a couple of stars. The pupillary distance does not work for me. I have never had this problem before. I will have to wear glasses to use these - to keep them the proper distance, I set the eyering at 1/2 way out. One other problem is that the case does not seem to be made for these binos. It is too short. When closed there is a gap and it is a stretch to open and close it with the elastic closing system, over the top of the binos. Not a quick movement. Please see pics. The smell of the armoring is dissipating and I think it will be ok. I have ordered a regular string harness. They are heavy - but I will be using these mostly from the car for sparrows or hawks, they are too heavy for hiking.edit a month later: one new problem has come up. The eye ring does not hold in place - I am trying to see and something is wrong - one eye ring has twisted in. This keeps happening.So, in summary, great optics, problem with pupillary distance, stiff dials, heavy, bad case eye ring moves. I am keeping them.
