Title: Excellent Price/Performance
Review: I got this bino at an airport dutty-free as an emergency replacement of my 8x40 bino that was broken by the luggage service at another airport during a trip, my main usage is for birding and outdoor. It is a very good built binocular with a very good optical performance. It produces bright and contrasted colorfull images and 8x and up to the midle of the zoom range. At 16x it still good but not as in the first half zoom range. The optics show very small achromatic aberration and the images are sharp almost from edge to edge. The body has a rubber/plastic armor protecting it that provides a good grip. The controls (dioptry, focus and interpupillary distance) are very smooth, I only miss pop-up eyecups.
