For the money you can't beat them. A good "BIRDING" Binocular, I use the for "BOATING", they don't take up a lot of room like larger 7 x 50 binoculars do, at 7 x 35 they have the same view as 7 x 50 (you won't be able to tell the DIF bet. 35 and 50 Fld of view). If they go overboard, it's NOT a big loss. excellent gift for a "BOATER" !
