Adorrgon 12x42 HD High Powered Binoculars

These binoculars are my first ever, and I believe I chose well. I didn't have much budget, but I could have gotten cheaper binocs. But research will usually yield better results. I chose this model because of specs, customer reviews, claimed sharpness of detail and field of vision,pricing, functiinality,size,and all the extras which come with it. The carry case is a shaped pouch with a velcro closure. I attached the binocs carry strap easily enough with a bit of fussiness, but did it right proper. With it I also attached the rear lens covers so they will never get lost. This detail is covered in the instruction manual which is well illustrated and easy to follow. Non of that Chinglish. I have not yet tied the smart phone adaptor but it shows how to mount to a phone with multiple lenses like most phones are made these days. After using the binoculars first time for my intended use of them, it turns out I could of gotten some with somewhat lower specs. These are a tad more powerful than 8 need, but will fill my purpose okay. As far as waterproofing goes, I'll have to take the manufacturers word on that, I choose not 5i test that. I like to take good care of my equipment, therefore I expect many long years of service from these. Field of vision and clarity was very good. A sharp picture edge to edge and reasonable light gathering for a sorry winter snowy afternoon. I'd recommend them for anyone looking for a powerful set of binocs for canvassing large vistas.
