These are by far the best pair of binoculars I have ever owned. If you are looking for optics but can't imagine spending this kind of money, don't imagine just do it. Overall the fit and feel of these is great. The rubber coating is thick and uniform, the eyepieces are comfortable and optics themselves are breathtaking.
PROS
Superior Fully Multi-Coated and Phase Coated Optics
Compact Roof Prism Design
50mm objectives really make low light viewing easy
Quality Rubber Armor
Easy to use focus knob
CONS
Price
Cheap strap included
Objective lens covers are not high quality
A little on the heavy side for smaller individuals
CONCLUSION
If you are in the market for a 12x binocular these are really a great buy. While they may seem overly expensive compared to the sub-$100 models out there you are getting a unit that will come close to Zeiss and Leica in optics quality but at 1/5 the cost.

I was looking for binoculars that I could use for birding and to take on safari in Africa. These binoculars are light enough and their field of vision is great. They work wonderfully during low light which will be great in Africa since we are out early in the morning and late in the evening. I have used them for birding already and I cannot wait to use them in Africa.

Absolutely great binoculars. Exceptionally bright image and great contrast. Close focus 1,8 meter = perfect for insects and butterflies. Robust quality, including 4 lens covers for all the lenses.

I bought these before an antelope hunt in Wyoming. They proved outstanding for seeing detail in long distances. Light enough to not even be a factor if mounted on a harness. The best binocs I have ever owned.
