BRESSERHunter Specialty Stuff of Legend Series Binoculars Phase Ed Glass 8x42

Great edge to edge clarity. Great resolution. Great build quality. Could sell for at least twice the cost. Better than I expected. Amazing! (don't need it but thinking of getting another to gift someone someday)

I own quite a few quality binoculars, from the likes of Nikon, Oberwerk and Fuji, as well as APM.A binocular site forum member mentioned the deal that Amazon was offering, so I took a chance, not knowing what I'd "really get".I certainly did not need another binocular, already owning two 8x models...but....how could I resist this offer.Bottom Line....Phenomenal instrument on almost any level one could think of. Razor sharp optics, extremely well made and a life time warrantee....Very attractive as well, with no plastic parts. The gold trim seems to be aluminum, since that is what is the material under the rubber armor.Ecstatic to say the least. -:)

I'm very impressed by the optical quality for $100! I get crisp views both near and far, with no problems adjusting for my eyes (except see next point.) The ergonomics are very good, they are comfortable to hold and I can easily reach and adjust the center focus. 8X seems to be about my limit to hold steady, but these just feel natural and cause me no problems.The mechanical quality also seems good in general, but I'm deducting a star because the (right eye) diopter adjustment ring just spun when they arrived. After some puzzling it out, it turned out to be an easy fix. The exterior copper trim ring had come detached from the inner black ring that actually moves the lensses to adjust the EP's focus. After some fiddling to get it apart, a couple drops of superglue (once it was away from the optics) reconnected the inner and outer rings, and then screwing it all back together. (Be careful, the threads for the adjustable eye cups are really fine!) It now works fine.The accessories are a little "Meh", but I planned to use my Peak Design straps anyway and with optics this good at this price... I don't really mind that.

These binoculars are on par with 300-450 dollar binoculars which is to say very good. They are very clear and bright. They can resolve difficult objects even at low light. This is the deal of the decade. Everybody on cloudynights.com is buying these after a few of us tried them. What a deal! Just make sure you get the ED version. I ordered 2 and one pair was not the ED version so I sent them back.

I own about 8 pairs of binoculars. These are an incredible deal for the price. You will not find another pair that are this good for anywhere near the $99 price tag. If you are on the fence about buying these, you will miss out because I'm sure that these are discontinued and once they are gone, they're gone forever. Binoculars like these usually sell for well over $200. I can find nothing bad about these binos (except for the case, which is just a drawstring pouch) but instead, you get a binocular harness, which is a nice bonus.

I'm pretty sure these binoculars were made for another company with their logo on them. I guess something happened to that relationship now you can get these for dirt cheap. You can still buy these same binoculars through another company with a different model name on them and they are $350. I can tell you at that price they would be worth it. I have three other pairs of binoculars and these are by far the best. All of my other pairs are the $200 variety. I use these for 5 weeks on a trip to the Florida keys and as soon as I got home I bought another pair. They come with a harness which is pretty good and fits a big guy like me. They did not come with a case or a neck strap but I improvised with some paracord and the case I never use anyway. For storage and just to keep dirt off of them it did come with a nice drawstring bag. So if you're looking for a beater pair of binoculars for the glove box or boat, this is the pair for you. If you'd like a mid-range pair of binoculars with ED glass and you want to get them at 1/3 their normal price, these are the binoculars for you.
