Bought these as an alternative to pulling out the scope, the optics are ok but the overall finiish and build quality of the product is not that good. The feeling is not that of a quality set of binos but a cheap imitation of same. But for £50 they would suit a beginner looking to peruse the night sky for bino objects with a small budget.

These are my 1st set of binoculars and were chosen after reading review after review and asking forums. They are superbly sharp in the centre of the image and not to bad at the edges , they do suffer light intrusion and it reflects back, nothing to serious specially at the price, I wish I had gone for the bigger magnification , but even so wide field astronomy is excellent , I’ve seen more with these than any of my scopes including the goto !
