These bino's are fantastic.  The most important feature for me in a value-priced pair of binoculars were crystal clear and 'bright' optics, which can be very hard to find.  I was concerned about not being able to demo them before purchase, but I am SO VERY HAPPY with this purchase.  They are as bright as I could have wished for.  ...of course, the price in the mid-twenty dollar range was not bad either.
