First, my rating needs some explanation.
I have some Ziess WWII Bino's that are rarely used for a couple of reasons.  They are a VERY rare, expensive, heavy and fine example of what Bino's are all about.
Would you carry several thou worth of Bino's to a concert or whatever and have a fun evening without a great deal of concern? This is where these 10X22X50 Nikon's SHINE and why I use these Nikon's.
For the money, I'm impressed. If you understand value and how to use them, these Nikon's can't be beat and all this with the Nikon lifetime paperwork TOO, a true "no-brain-r.
All the same, I'd like to suggest, go look through a pair of hi-buck, big objective, long range, poor light situation binoculars to get an idea of what the big money will get, to have a future point of reference when you win the lottery.
Is this Nikon glass up to that... not by a long shot but for 90% of what binoculars are for, these little marvels do a very good job without  field striping you bank account and if they hit the floor, you won't be have to deal with an insurance claim.
