Ive got an pair of these and i loved them but the rubber body armour has come unglued and sloughed off. Had a pair of Leica Trinovids and Ultravid but to my eyes they just didnt work.
Been using a pair of Stryka S7 8x42 and am astonished at the optics and build of these chinese binos. Im going to try a pair of Athlons next and then Deltas.
For my eyes the Swarovskis always work well, as does Nikon and some of mid tier asian optics are really good. Send those Swaros to SONA. They will put new rubber armor on, and clean them up for free. What is SONA?

I am soon getting a pair of these roof prism binoculars. I am interested in any opinions. Good or bad. I’ve had a pair forever; I truly love those things. Can’t think of one bad thing about them. Even the factory strap/covers system works great when hunting.
The CENTER will hold.

I have had a pair since 2000, they have been back for repair once as somehow cracked the focus dial. Came back like new, and it is my daily use/grab to look at something bino. Also have the 10 X 42 and they are a great set of binoculars, just bigger and heavier and not as handy as the 8 X 30.Swarovski is my favorite brand of bino.

Thanks for all the help, everyone. All great information.
At some point my hobbies became my life.
