Description: | Terrific deal in a competitive price range. Optics are beautiful! This is certainly where Oberwerk spent their time in designing these. I give the optics a 9! Fit and finish, and extra's are a different story... My 3 yr olds first remarks when I took them out of the box was "they stink!". Indeed they did smell, of rubber... Must have been the funes built up in the plastic bag during their long trip from Asia - I assume. As they've aired out, the odor isn't as noticable. Other nitpicks - the binocular strap attaches to plastic hooks on the binoculars! I don't trust them to hold up, and I will never intentionally hang them from my neck while the strap is attached to them. The bag that the binoculars came in is about 2 sizes too small! I can't even keep the lid closed attached to the velcro strip. The eyepiece cover also looks as though they were borrowed from a smaller set of binoculars as they barely stay put. The binoculars also do not come with a tripod adapter. These gripes aside, if it is bright clear optics you want, without the need to immediately re-collimate - get these! I'd buy them again... |
