 really good binoc's Aug 12, 2004
By tech head 432
i'm a photographer...with tons of gear from canon, minolta, zeiss, leica etc. I think I'm fairly critical when it comes to the quality of optics.
I choses the for concerts mainly. I wanted a pair that I didnt care if they got lost.
For the money, this cheap-o set of binoc's is damn good. I compared them to the Nikons ($65), the Meades, the Bushnell's and a few others. I wanted something nice and small for concerts but didnt want a piece of junk that I'd hate to look through. These binoc's have a metal focusing plate on top, smooth and tight focusing center-roller, heavy rubber covered lens barrels and they're very light. they have adjustable eye pieces for those with difference prescription eyes/contacts/glasses. It has a very thin nylon string as the neckstrap...feels like a shoelace...probably it's biggest fault. It comes with a decent case with belt loop and velco closing flap.

 Awesome quality for the price! Apr 04, 2008
By Cheap Chrissy
Just received today, are perfect for the money ($12.88). I like the rubber coating that makes them seemingly more durable and weather resistant. They are fairly comfortable on the eye sockets, easy to adjust, and fairly powerful. They are lightweight and very compact, and suitable for carrying (in the case) on a belt. Only minus is the neck string is very thin and the attachment to the binocs is questionable. There are also no lens protectors, but I never use them because they are a pain to keep track of, anyway. Overall I think they are quite high quality for the price.

Cheep but good quality..... May 10, 2006
By M. shevat
"Alientwin"
I bought these a few years ago and so far they have preformed well. Light to carry even down the Grand Canyon. Deep in the Petrified Forest wilderness. Can focus far or to 15 ft. Nice carring case with mine too. I will buy another when this fails.

Way better than the more expensive Bushnell alternative ! Aug 08, 2011
By Hard Core Camper
I got a pair of these Celestron binocs, for my day-pack.
I got a (similar price/specs) pair of Bushnell, for my 3-day pack.
This celestron model is smaller, lighter, clearer, brighter, better !!
The Bushnells were 25% more expensive, heavier, bigger, and had worse glass.
These are easier to mount and focus ... they stow (and deploy) better (than my Bushnells).
These Celestrons also focus very close ... much closer than most binocs.
They really feel good, in the hand and to my eyes. Ergos just rock !
NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL ! ... Compact, light, rugged and VERY affordable.
Nothing not to love. Especially at this amazing price. Even the case is just great !
I SO wish I had got two pair of these ! ... HEY ! ... I think I WILL get a 2nd pair !
(And pass my Bushnells along to my 18 yo daughter, for HER pack).
Great job (on this model) Celestron ! Thanks !
