Very nice look and feel. Good daytime views. Halo and less sharp images on the border when looking at the moon, but nothing much.

very nice.

I tried mine out in store at sports athourity against nikon 10x50 the minolta blew them away on all visual test even the rep. was impressed at the minolta classic 10 x50 he agreed with me that they had better optics. but they do way a bit. but are fine for astronomy if you have a stand or tripod. but for all around views they are very nice and offer sharp well defined images. also great for birders. they do have a short eye relief so I can see where it might concern glass wearers. but mine works very well and have a 25 year warranty. and are very rugged. so for the money their a great deal, optics are better than they should be for bino's at this price. so yes I'll keep mine. thank you! mike n.

I sold mine because of the very short eye relief. With glasses on or off, I could not focus stars to points in both eyepieces simultaneously. Terrestrial performance in daylight was very good. Wide field of view and well enough constructed, but not for eyeglass wearers or astronomers.

A bit short eye relief. Poor edge sharpness. Wide apparent field of view, smooth focusing, comfortable to use.
