Leica8x20 BCA Trinovid, Weather Resistant Roof Prism Binocular with 6.6 Degree Angle of View, with Cordura Case, Black, USA

I purchased these binoculars just before leaving on a trip to New Zealand, where we would be viewing birds and other wildlife. They have outstanding optics and clarity. They are small enough to put in a small jacket pocket, but in spite of their small size, they somehow let in an incredible amount of light. At some birding venues, larger binoculars were provided by the venue (likely lower quality), but none had an image as bright or clear as these. While I am not an expert in binoculars, and am not a "birder" , my research on binoculars led me to believe that all else being equal, the amount of light that larger binoculars let in is the main advantage to the larger size. At least in daytime, the image with these binoculars was incredibly bright. I did not use them at night, so there could be more of an issue if they will be used in lower light conditions. Like some others, I was a bit disappointed they do not come with protective caps.

Excellent optics in a portable package. Convenient to carry - when folded they easily fit into a coat pocket or a small purse - light enough to hold steady - shake is not an issue. Crystal clear images. Easy to use with glasses. Expensive but worth it.

excellentthis binocular provides a sharp, clear, image.its compact and light. this replaces another high priced binoculars, "beese".ps why is asurion offering a 2yr or 3yr warranty when the manufacturer offers a 10 yr warranty?

Coming from south africa, one hardly sees a decent pair of binoculars, least of all these ones. This is my third pair after the first was stolen. The 8x are a nice alternative to the 10 which I have been using for years. But as age comes on and eyesight deteriorates the eights make a super alternative to the tens. Extremely compact when folded up. Very happy with this purchase, would buy again.

A top-quality binocular that is unsurpassed!

Light weight, handy an superb image quality. It's worth its prize.
