ZEISSTerra ED Binoculars 10x42 Waterproof, and Fast Focusing with Coated Glass for Optimal Clarity in All Weather Conditions for Bird Watching, Hunting, Sightseeing, Green

I have been attracted lately to the hobby of bird watching or birding as they call it. I was looking for a mid- level pair of binoculars as an upgrade to my cheap but surprisingly satisfying entry level Lululo binoculars, for which I made a product review a few days ago. When this pair came, I was not disappointed- the optics were to my liking- wide field of view , and crystal- clear; the size was perfect for my grip and quite light and portable ; and the price was appropriate for a brand touting to be of the Zeiss family. It came with a very beautiful protective hard case and over- the - top harness strap. This is a keeper and I would probably not replace it with the heavier, costlier ones I was initially tempted to buy. I will definitely recommend this as a mid level pair of binoculars that would easily fit your budget.

Quality binoculars for the price. Clear and bright. These have survived tough weather during a harsh and bitter cold muzzleloader season. Held up perfectly to abuse and I saw deep into the woods with them. Highly recommend.

Best binocs I have ever had! Easy to focus and extremely easy to view. I would highly recommend them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Amazing resolution. A blind buy in my opinion.

I am pleased with these overall, even though the storage case is stupidly designed (no place to store the strap, fer Chrissakes!). The binoculars are very easy to focus with one finger, without having to do to many micro adjustments. The image through the lenses is crisp and bright. Pay attention to the listed weight, when you are considering these, though, because they feel pretty heavy when you have them in hand. The strap is nicely padded and contoured, to distribute the weight evenly across the back of your neck. Still, the truth is it’s a lot of weight to hang on your neck for an extended period. I like the smooth, plain casing on the binoculars, with textured traction pads in just the right places for your fingers. The design looks compact, clean and solid. If these came with a better storage case, they would get full marks. You’d think for the price Zeiss could have made a better effort there!

This is my first pair of "nice" binoculars for birding and wow! What a difference between these and every other <$100 pair I've ever looked through. Yes, they are pricey but very much worth it. They are sturdy, have attached lens and eyepiece covers and a nice case. Unfortunately, the case does not zip closed with the strap attached to the binoculars... An easy fix for this would be to have two zippers or to make it just a bit larger to accommodate the strap. You can make it work with it zipped halfway and the snap closure but it's not idea. They are on the heavy side but the included strap is neoprene and nice and wide. The clarity is unbelievable! Once you have them adjusted to you, you won't want look through a $60 pair ever again. They are well worth the money.

Absolutely amazed by the quality of these binoculars. The clarity of the viewing is nothing short of amazing. For the price, these binoculars are outstanding value. Highly recommend.

These are very nice binoculars for travel, hunting and some birding.Ergonomics: very easy to use, i like the lens cap system (but some won’t as it has potential to get in your way—can be removed and re-attached quickly). Easy to adjust lens, and really nice, easy to adjust eye cups.Case: there is a passable, zippered nylon weave case with minimal rigidity, no padding, no lanyard)Lanyard: attaches with snap-locks, well cushioned, very nice. Unless you prefer a two-loop harness, this will likely serve you well)Lens quality: seem decent, but not comparable to my heirloom quality zeiss 10x49 binos).good to great light collection. Good field of view. Some haloing? Not sure if due to lens quality, limited relief of lens to end of housing, or my 56 year old eyes).Weight-not light, a heavy binocular for this size and price.Overall: design is 4 stars, construction 4 stars, ergonomics a five, weight a 3, lanyard a 5. Not best in class but solid buy for a product built in China.
