[6.6' / 2 m] These are great bins. My second after first wound up in the Chesapeake Bay

[6.6' / 2 m] Image quality is very good, true to color, despite the small 18mm lenses they are very good in low light. I used them as opera glasses and they are perfect due to their clarity and the wide field of view. Outdoors they are also nice to use due to the wide field of view. I didn't think the close focussing distance of about 20 inch is very useful but it turns out it's nice to look at flowers, butterflies, frogs and other shy wildlife. They are also super lightweight. That helps a lot for their use as Opera glasses. They seem to be sturdy though. The right diopter once adjusted seems to stay the same throughout the entire focussing distance. The lenses are recessed and well protected from accidental touching and scratches. The eye relief is good. The only drawbacks I can think of is that they might not be the most robust Bino's due to their lightweight construction and the overall look of the white plastic housing looks a bit cheap. A grey-ish finish like expensive DSLR lenses would have been better. The ocular rubber can be folded over to use them with glasses on. This is a bit cumbersome when you hand the binoculars back and forth to your partner who doesn't have glasses. A system like on my 8x20 Zeiss binoculars would have been better.

[5.3 mm] I have been a long time customer of Vortex optics. I was looking for a good pair of low light binoculars so I started looking for 56mm objective lens pairs. Vortex used to make the Vulture's in 8x56 but since discontinued them. I started shopping for other brands and came across this pair. The price was in my budget, and the fact that it was a German based company I thought would be a positive to so I took a chance on them. Let me tell you, these binoculars are nothing short of awesome. Everything is top notch, from the packaging they come in to the carrying case, neck strap and optics themselves. I can be very picky when it comes to purchases (especially at this price point) and I can't find one thing to complain about. I get on the deer stand with these 2 hours before day break with just moon light and I can see my feeder and movement in fields clearly. They are 56mm objective lens so naturally they are a little bulkier and heavier than say a 42mm binocular but well worth the extra size and weight for me. I love them, I gave my old Vortex to my kids because after using these I don't want to use anything else. I highly recommend them. I attached an un-boxing video in case it might help.

[5.3 mm] Great little binoculars for the car or bush walking. Extremely light, good clear image and eye relief. A little stiff in the focus knob initially, but soon smooths out. A solid yet lighter replacement for my 25 year old Nikon Porro type 8 x 23 (now a 'monocular' with only one tube working and sadly a repair too expensive). The build quality suggests I should get many years out of these as well. Good solid belt case comes with it so no need to upgrade it.

[Roof (BAK4)] If you want general purpose binoculars to enjoy landscapes, wildlife, cityscapes, or most anything else, you'd need the widest field of view with moderate magnification and low shaking, edge to edge sharpness with no distortions, flat field, great colors, brightness, and contrast, lightweight with superb ergonomics, big exit pupil, and sufficient eye relief for spectacles wearers. And then you learn that there is only one model in existence with all these qualities, Swarovski 8x42 NL Pure. Nothing else even comes close.
