Review: Great pair of little binoculars - I tried a couple of pairs of pocket binoculars before I came across these. I was starting to think I wouldn’t find a pair that were light and had clear vision. I wear glasses and was delighted that these binoculars are easy to use with my glasses on. They are easy to adjust, they fold down to a good size for holding in your hand and you can hold them easily in one hand to use The only slight niggle is, as others have said the case is a little bit snug...so getting them out of the case in a hurry can be a bit of a nuisance. I’m currently looking for an alternative case...but that does not detract from how good these binoculars are
Review: Excellent Value - A very fine instrument ideal for carrying in an anorak pocket or slung around the neck via the lanyard as it suits. I purchased this binocular to replace a Leica 8x20 that became "waterlogged" and proved beyond repair. The Leica are priced a 3 to 4 times that of the Pentax 8x25; the only attribute worthy of the Leica is its more compact size but for the rest you are paying for the "name". Incidentally, as a practicing astronomer I have wide experience of optical equipment owning instruments by Carl Zeiss et al. Note added Aug. 31. I purchased this item at "old" price some £60 above the current offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent but fragile
*by S***F on 7 September 2021*

I would recommend these, if they meet your need. I bought these as a light weight carry anywhere binocular when it was more expensive than currently. They are good quality and I found them very useful. Why the past tense? Well, having had them almost a year to the day, I managed to drop them and they went out of alignment. Effectively they became useless (unless you use them one-eyed). Having had previous experience with binoculars that need collimation it is almost impossible to find a technician who can do it and, even if you find a shop that will send them off , the cost means it is often cheaper just to buy a replacement. I did look to see if I could have a go a aligning it myself but I could not find the means (roof prisms are often internal adjustment and these are waterproof & nitrogen purged). So, an expensive mistake in dropping them… Pros: * Waterproof & nitrogen purged. I had no fears nor problems with them in bad weather. No problems with them misting up (e.g. if you move indoors from cold outdoors) * Rubber armour helps protect against light damage - but not a (relatively small I should add) drop to hard ground! * Easy to adjust for spectacles if needed - twist eye pieces. * The double folding mechanism makes them much more compact than others I looked at. (They have a double hinge rather than just being hinged on one side.) * High quality image - no complaints whatsoever on this. I found them excellent despite the small size. The only downside was restricted field of view when compared with ordinary binoculars. * When I look at the price now, good value (about £90). Less good for what I paid a year ago but they were still worth it in my view. Cons: * Relatively restricted (but not limiting) field of view because of roof prisms. * Well, the rubber armour did not protect against a knock causing a misalignment. * The case is OK and you could fit it to your belt but extracting the binocular and putting it back is a two-handed job so I found I mostly kept them in a jacket pocket. I think I will stick with a monocular for carrying out and about in a pocket. While I use larger, regular binoculars I do not think I will buy another small/folding binocular.
