 Better than expected. Convenient. Effective October 25, 2008
C. KISER
We wanted a pair of binoculars that are lightweight, smaller, and yet powerful for a variety of uses: bird watching, sports events, viewing vacation spots. These are really great; we are very pleased with the quality and ease of focus adjustment.
 Pentax UCF-X II 10x25 is a pretty good binocular June 3, 2008

I was looking for a binocular under 1 pound that nonetheless had the optical quality of a larger binocular. Consumer Reports recommended this one, and the price was right--in the range of $70-$80. They are indeed lightweight, compact, easy to focus, let in adequate light, and the view is very sharp and clear. My only complaint is that the strap attaches forward of the center of gravity so that the binocular has a tendency to flip upside-down against my bosom. The field of view isn't very big-natch, they're "compact" - so they are good for bird watching, looking at distant details, etc., but I wouldn't recommend them for watching sports. This model is affordable and useful for my modest needs.

I purchased these a couple of years ago for mountain rescue work. I wanted something lightweight, sufficient power, and that would work well with glasses. They succeeded superbly on all accounts. I now am glasses-free (thanks to Lasics!) and the binocs work equally well without glasses. Nice adjustments that are easy to locate and use. They are an excellent trade-off between weight and size on one hand, and performance on the other hand. Also, they seem to be rugged, although I have yet to launch them off a cliff face. br / br /Considering the cost of some binoculars, these are affordable and offer great performance.
