Title: Good all around bino for the money
Review: This K-M best seller is a good compromise between the low end and the really high end models by Zeiss, Fujinon, and Nikon. Feels real good,although the porro prism design is not a small lightweight model,if you are seeking same. Good rubber coating,easy focus wheel (check its function), and relatively flat field via the hybrid plastic glass aspheric element.Decent light transmission. This is a "genuine article" good binocular you are likely to enjoy and use for every day and even for some backyard astronomy. I liked mine a lot before it got swiped and may buy replacement of the same kind,to add to my bino collection. The vinyl case is cheesy but that can be upgraded for twenty bucks or so. I did not care for the 10 power K-M as much,namely more distortion and heavier.
Is the review positive or negative?
