These binoculars are a game changer. The image clarity is unbelievable. I have been birding for many years, and have owned several different brands of binoculars, but these top my list. The optics are superb, they are not overly heavy, and they are simple to use. The little things of note: the lens caps flip down to open and remain attached, the strap rotates on a swivel peg and does not tangle, the focus ring is smooth to use. I am happy to have made the purchase.
