 "Great Torque Wrench" 2010-04-21
By J. Dang
I recently purchased a Remington 700 5R .308 and equipped it with a Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20 x 50mm LR/T scope. The scope is mounted on a NightForce one piece 20 MOA short action base and NightForce Rings. NightForce recommends that you tighten their rings to 68 inch/lbs but I think it is just a gimmick to get you to buy something that they sell. The Leupold Mark 4 Torque Wrench is set to 65 inch/lbs and I believe it will hold just fine. Both the Leupold and the NightForce torque wrenches are made by Seekonk so there is no difference in quality. Another reason to go with the 65 inch/lbs torque wrench is if you ever need to switch out stocks, most are set to the 65 inch/lbs recommendation.

 "A great binocular for the price" 2010-06-09
By Alan Juhl
Bought this pair of binoculars for nearly pocket change. I took them to Alaska on our recent cruise and was very pleased with them. I carried them in the pouch they came in attached to my belt. I barely knew they were there till I needed them.

 "Good disposable emergency travel binoculars" 2008-11-29
By Grant Brummett (Arizona USA)
Good disposable emergency travel binoculars



I bought these binoculars to leave in my SUV as an emergency backup when I forget my excellent Nikon 7216 Action 8 X 40 Binoculars. They are much lighter and smaller and I can leave in my map holder on the door or even in my pocket and forget I even have them which leaves the old saying binoculars are only good if you have them with you. And that's where these binoculars shine they are very tiny and very light.



They do bring things in close and after a little bit of focusing and adjusting width you can make things out if you have plenty of light. The little case they come with is pretty decent as well.



Now for the bad parts. The eye relief is pretty bad, you will have to prop your eye glasses above them and or remove them to use. Also they are pretty dim which of course a lot of cheaper 10x25 binoculars are. The strap is a small little string that does the job but is pretty thin. But hey for the price go ahead and purchase a couple one for your coat pocket and one for your vehicle oh and maybe one for your camera bag.



These would be a great pair to have children learn on as if they drop or abuse them its no big deal.



Pros:



Nice case

Super small size

Super light weight

Disposable price tag

Great learning binocular to hand to small children



Cons:



So so focusing

Just Ok low light ability

Just Ok optics

Not water tight or resistant



Verdict:



Purchase as disposable emergency travel binoculars and or as a toy for children to learn birding with and no more.



12-3-2008 Update:



Went to the store and tested a lot of different small bincoulars trying to find a pair that are almost as good as my Nikon Action 7216 8x40's and found the perfect one. If you need small and want a good view and a good price get the Nikon 7508 Travelite 8 X 25mm V Binoculars. They are: light (8.9 oz), fit the hand well are well made and very bright in the viewfinder for their size.

 "You get what you pay for?" 2007-03-10
By John Ueng-mchale
For the price, it's difficult to find fault with these binoculars. Tasco is evidently trying hard to make a high-value product (not just a toy) at an extremely competitive price. They are light, small, reasonably solid, and for the price I never worry about taking them into situations where they might get a little wet or a little mechanical abuse (e.g., bumps or scrapes).



So these would be a great choice for occasional or emergency use (e.g., to throw in a glove compartment or emergency bag, or to take hiking or backpacking), when having a small, lightweight, relatively high-power set of binoculars would be beneficial.



If you'll be using these for extended periods of time, I would encourage you to keep looking. The eye relief isn't great, so if you wear glasses you won't be able to see the full field of view. Also, and it could just be my pair, mine do not focus very sharply (spherical aberration?), especially at larger distances.



Also, be aware that these are probably best for active outdoors activities (hiking, hunting, etc.) in bright light -- if you can put up with the extra weight and cost, you might be better served by a pair with larger effective aperture and corresponding exit pupil (e.g., 10x42 or even 10x50) for pursuits like astronomy or (more sedentary) birding. This is not a criticism of these binoculars; they are designed to be 10x25, so the only thing I might complain about is the transmission of the AR coating, but that's simply not fair at this price point.



If you do get a pair, do some thorough field testing as soon as you get them, and return them if they don't suit your expectations.



Three stars may be too tough on these, but they're just not good enough optically to warrant more. Still, especially given their price, they're a whole lot better than nothing in a pinch.

 "These Binos Work OK" 2010-03-31
By Slugg (Sequim, WA, USA)
So far... good enough.



Combining active IR with 1st generation light amplification technology, these glasses aren't dazzlingly powerful, but we do use them to watch deer on the meadow during starry/moonlit nights.



Range? With the light amplification, 60+ yards with not-bad-considering clarity. Best when the moon's at half or better.



Range with the IR... about 15 yards.



Bottom line: a pretty cool toy.

 "Update: Good Product, Poor Service" 2010-06-30
By ZS1RA (Cape Town, South Africa)
I have eventually been contacted by Swarovski Optik. A guy called Heinz Armin has been extremely helpful and apologetic and promised to resolve the issues I have with the bins. He has gone a long way to restore my faith in the brand. I will post an update in a few weeks time when I expect this whole matter to be resolved one way or another.



FINAL UPDATE:



It is not unusual to make a mistake. Some of the best run companies and organisations make mistakes. What is important is how they recover. In the Service side of any business this is VERY important. A great recovery can turn irate customers into loyal advocates. This is exactly what happened with me.



In my previous review, I was really angry that Swarovski Optik was not responding to my emails. As stated above, I did eventually get someone come back to me. What an absolute pleasure it has been to deal with them since. I am sure this treatment was "special" because I was so peaved. However if I could get half this level of service from anyone I would be happy!



They have effected the neccesary repairs under the Warranty as one would expect, but they did a whole lot more than that. I was kept up to speed every step along the way. When they heard that I had posted my binoculars to them, they immediately asked me for my tracking number so they can keep tabs on it. This gave me a tremendous amount of peace of mind. When my binos eventually arrived I received an email to let me know that it has arrived. Once the binos were assessed, I was sent a mail to let me know that the issues I have with the binos are covered under the Warranty. I was give a date as to when I can expect them back, but what really blew my mind was the mail I got from them today, they let me know that DHL was unable to deliver to my door as no one was home. They emailed me the tracking number but more so they even sent me the telephone number of the local DHL agent, half way across the world. Wow now that is service, I did not even need to open a telephone directory to sort out the delivery.



Once I had the box in my hand I eagerly opened the box. Wow my binos look nearly new, AMAZING. In the box was a Swarovski Optik peak cap and lapel pins. I am going to wear these items with pride.



Thank you Swarovski.

 "Good Product - Poor Service" 2010-06-27
By ZS1RA
My review relates to my experience of the 10x42 version of this binoculars.



Just to give the reader an idea on what I base my expectations. I have over the years owned the following binoculars: 1x pair of Zeiss 10x40B Classic, 2 x Pairs of Leica 10x42 - Trinovid BA and Geovid, 2 Pairs x Swarovski 10x42 - SLC and EL. So I know what to expect from bins in this league.



I can honestly say that the differences in binoculars of this calibre are subtle. One may have better eye relief, or closer focusing or better contrast or lighter weight, etc than the other. However the EL-42 optics will not disappoint. It is a truly remarkable piece of kit with a few flaws that has really irated me to the point that I am questioning whether I should buy a Swarovski again.



The niggly issues, I have an older pair of EL-42s Serial# L730460*** and I have used them extensively but this is the first bins I owned where the rubber housing is starting to come loose from the metal chassis. There are signs of the rubber lifting at the logos on top of the bins with minor tears in that area. The objective lens coating has started to show signs of delamination, at this stage it is very small and has not affected the optics yet. Finally, I use the bins in dusty areas often, as I do with all my others but this one's focussing wheel has gone a little sticky, just enough to be annoying when you onto a bird that is moving around fast in the trees and you need to keep focus.



Having said all that the most annoying thing is that I have been onto the Swarovskioptik website and have never come across such incompetence. Really a pity for such a great product. In the last 2 weeks I have sent 5 different people emails begging them to let me know if the issues I have with the bins are repairable and what the cost would be to effect such repairs. Furthermore when I registered my bins on their website they sent me a confirmation email with a verification link. This link took me to [...] where you are plagued by pop-ups and the like, obviously a spelling mistake but really sloppy for such a great brand. Furthermore their website insist that the bin I own given the Serial number are a pair of EL-8x42 WB, obviously a sign of poor record keeping on their side. All in all a poor show.



Other than that good optics but doubtful if I will be a repeat customer again.

 "No better binocular" 2010-04-07
By Michael A. Macgregor (Appleton, WI)
I always thought my Leica's were wonderful but then, in the Amazon where the light is often very poor, I was blown away by these. Expensive but worth every penny for someone who really values image quality.

 "GO HD BABY!!" 2010-03-09
By Steven Mooneyhan
see the world as if it was all HD with these. Every other possible purchase is just wrong and prolonging the purchase of this item.

 "Absolutely THE BEST and the LAST pair of binoculars you will EVER need..." 2009-12-21
By Y
My son and I are avid birders, and this pair of binoculars is invaluable to our birding experience and enjoyment.



I first held them, and looked through them, at a local Bass Pro Outdoor World. The young girl selling them to me was an avid hunter and owned a pair of these beauties herself. She had me look through them at a fish that was mounted exactly 82 yards away (she used a range finder for exact distance) and I was able to see a cobweb hanging from the dorsal fin of the fish, as if I were standing right next to the web myself. The clarity and resolution is beyond compare.



I'm waiting to test the new Swarovision EL's when they become available in January 2010 to determine if the improvement in optics and eyeglass relief is worth the difference of about $600.00. I wear eyeglasses and the new Swaro's are supposed to have an increased eyecup relief for eyeglass wearers, though that difference, in and of itself, may not be enough to convince me to fork over another $600 or so.



Btw, I am not sure as to whether or not AllAbout Electronics price of $3,847.75 is a typo...I sure hope it is...because if not they are waaaaaaay out of line. Even the new Swarovisions are coming in at a price point of $2300 or so.



I wish you all happy viewing.



:)

They're good looking, shock resistant, water-proof, have a good strap, a decent case...are easy to focus....very decent, well-made birding binos. I'd rate the view through them as almost as good as my Nikon Monarchs...a pair I really loved...but that were stolen...but, the Carson binoculars cost about a third as much.

 "Great binoculars for birding" 2010-05-09
By Barbara Andrews (Athens, GA)
This is by far the best pair of binoculars I have ever owned. My last pair got ruined because of condensation so I was particularly interested in a waterproof pair. The view is so clear and I can now see a good distance without feeling like I am cross-eyed. The price I paid was excellent (happened to get it on a really good sale price day). I could not be happier with the excellent quality, ease of use, and quick shipping.

 "Satisfied so far" 2010-04-26
By Attu (Lubbock, TX)
After studying various reviews, I selected this item for its cost/quality ratio. It is reported to have very good optics and an excellent guarantee. It has a very close focus, and it is the first binocular that I have been able to use with my glasses. I have not done much distance viewing at this point, but I will this summer on a trip to Alaska. I have no reason to believe I won't be well satisfied.

 "Outland LX 8x42 binocular review" 2010-04-13
By James M. Leslie (Baltimore Maryland)
I just recieved the Celestron Outland LX 8x42 binoculars and have tried them out. The long eye relief makes them very easy to use with glasses and the image does not seem to be very sensitive to eye placement - also making them easy to use. The image is bright and clear with only a small degredation near the edge (all binocualrs have some)- not quite as good as some of the very high end binoculars I have looked through costing many times the list price of these, but not off by very much. Center resolution is excellent - probably as good as can be obtained without dielectric coating on the prisms. The close focus is amazing - seeming like a long range microscope. Focus is pretty fast from close to far. The strap is very wide and comfortable. Weight seems about normal and the binoculars seem fairly small, easily fitting the hands and easy to hold in position for long periods. I haven't tested the waterproof or fogproof claims but the construction seems very good. I have no reason to doubt them. All in all an excellent pair of binoculars, especially for the $79.99 (list is just under $200)I paid from Adorama which shipped them quickly. I would like to see a case that is more protective. The one that it comes with is just synthetic fabric. However the objective covers are excellent snap-off ones and the soft rubber eyepiece cover is one-piece but will stay on with any adjustment. Recommended!

 "good all around binoculars--great for the price!" 2010-02-20
By M. Terrell (San Francisco CA USA)
Since my passion is photography, I wanted an inexpensive pair of binoculars, saving my dollars for high end optics for camera lenses. I've learned from photography to do diligent research and find the most important features to get good value. I saw that the Celestron binocs had all the features I wanted: a very wide field of view--388 feet at 1000 yards; a close focus distance of 6.1'; waterproof casing and fog proof lenses; and a compact (4.8x2.2x5.6 inches) and lightweight (23 oz)body. I couldn't find any other binocs with all these features at the price I paid for these, and since just one week later they are now listed on Amazon for 30. less, this is even more true. They arrived a day early, and I am quite happy with them--and would be thrilled if I had paid less than 100. for them. They are bright, easy to focus (once I set them up), and can be used with or without glasses. (As someone who is very near sighted, it's a real treat to be able to read a sign two blocks away without my glasses using these binocs). I have been amazed not just at the detail I can now see in watching the birds in the trees near my home-these binocs give a full three dimensional perspective, but have been blown away at the power that allows me to read the United Airlines sign on hangars and clearly see the runways at the airport that's about 5 miles away. Most important, it's fairly easy to switch focus from near to far. I can't wait to take these on vacations, where I know they will bring wildlife up close. One other use I expect they will excel at is watching baseball, especially with the wide field of view. The soft sided case with its own strap, padded strap, and cleaning cloth are nice. The one downside for me is that the caps for the objective lens can't be tethered to the strap, so I had to rig up my own system (a small coin purse attached to the strap). I know there are far better quality binoculars out there, but these are an excellent pair for the money.

 "Excellent for first time user of binoculars! Me!" 2008-09-06
By Judy A. Coene (United States)
After visiting two local stores to apply "hands on" to different binoculars, and after returning one pair, I took the better part of a day researching binoculars. My sister gave me the specs for her $300+ pair so I used that as a base. Her binoculars carry another brand name but were made by Celestron. Bottom line, I got them home, took them from the box and could see the birds in my yard with a minimum of adjustment. I have always had great difficulty in using binoculars and have always been frustrated when trying to buy a pair. I am extremely happy with these and the price is wonderful. The specs compare to much higher priced binoculars. I learned that my attempts to buy a light weight pair of binoculars was a mistake. The "42" in the 8 x 42 makes a big difference for field of view. Anyway, I am very satisified with my purchase!
