Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am SO thrilled with my new binoculars! I ordered the Compact 8x32’s. I’d call them semi-compact. Bigger (and much higher quality) than my super-compact pocket ones and yet perfect to take along in a bag or on a belt. I've had them a week and I've gotten familiar with them and had a chance to use them as well. They look great AND they show things at a distance well, crisp! They are comfortable to hold with an indentation in the nonslip finish for each thumb. I have a problem with the finish on, and eye cups of, many binoculars as most are latex. But these don't smell like tires and they don't bother me. And the eye cups do not fold down they twist up to allow for glasses. In the center, they adjust to the width between the eyes. And they have a right eye diopter which allows for the difference between most people's eyes, from each other. You use a dial type adjuster to focus the right eye first, then the main dial in the center to focus them for both eyes. * They came with a neck strap that is nicer than most binoculars. They also have lens covers for both ends, the larger ones remain attached when removed from the lenses, and the ones over the eye pieces are connected by a sort of accordion folded section of the same material and one side has a closed slot for attaching it to the strap (WHAT a GREAT idea!) and the other side has a slot as well but it has a break allowing it to be removed from the other side of the strap for use. A really great design! They also come with a soft side but padded case with a velcro closure for fast removal of your binoculars. It has a belt slot in the back but it seems small to me. I think it might accommodate a 1 to 1.5" belt. They also come with a cleaning cloth. Their instructions state that you should only clean them a couple times a year. In between use a blower bulb to blow off any debris. The cloth is in a plastic case to prevent dust and dirt from getting on it which could quite possibly scratch your lenses. I have been very pleased with both this superior product and the company's attention to the customer's needs. I whole-heartedly recommend them! * NOTE: I couldn't turn the adjustor for the right diopter the second time I took them out so I wrote to the company and received a very prompt response. They gave me instructions on how to remedy this problem as well as how to handle a replacement should this not work. It did take me a good amount of pressure to unstick it and turn it but they had said that it would. They said it would be stiff because it is new so I plan on working it back and forth a little before I set the adjustor to my eyes.
