Sport Optics Binocolo Arena D+ 8x42

This pair compared favourably to a much more expensive similarly specified binoculars. The strap and carry case are not as well finished as the more expensive pair I compared with, but at the same time perfectly functional with a soft rubbery neck strap. I would recommend for someone who is looking for a pair of good value, high specification, robust binoculars. Ideal for bird and wildlife spotting. They are water proof so no fogging issues.

These are indeed very good binoculars for the price. High contrast and definition with no perceptible colour fringing. However the first example that I received was seriously out of collimation. Unusable in fact. The second pair appear to be perfect. I guess I was just unlucky to get a bad example but it may be that the quality control is not all it should be.

They are OK but not as clear as my canon 8x32 that was half the money.

After asking a friend who has great knowledge of binoculars, i bought these for watching the birds at my feeders & surrounding trees in my garden. They are truly superb, crystal clear & not too heavy. My friend was extremely impressed with them & the price paid for them. I am now enjoying the close up beauty of Goldfinches & Siskins, to name but a few.

Really good well made bins, great value for money. Took a while to find that the eye cups twist out (no instructions) but great after that. Vision very sharp and clear. Great size for travel and general use. Definitely recommend.
