Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)On the copy I received, the hinges for the left barrel were so loose it could barely hold its postion; the hinges for the right barrel were stiffer and how they should be, but forming the binoculars to fit my eyes only moved the loose, left barrel. Pretty bad.
Worse though was the fact that, if you wear eyeglasses (as I do) you will only be able to see a small portion of the image with these. The eye relief is just too small. Unfortunately I believed Nikon's verbiage on another site that read: "Turn and slide rubber eyecups, complemented by 10mm eye relief, allow these binoculars to be used as comfortably by eyeglass wearers as those with uncorrected vision."
Big fat lie.
So, I visited a store to try other binocs in person and found that for a little more money and a little more weight, the Nikon ProStaff 8x25 (which you can get for $90) are A) well-constructed, B) perfect for use with my eyeglasses, and C) have a sharper image. They're also compact and waterproof. Worth the extra dough, believe me.
