[Yes] This is my first pair of binoculars. I was really impressed with the sharpness of the image. Build quality feels amazing in the hand. Carrying case is really good. My only complaint is that the strap feels very cheap and too wide. It doesn't go with the look of these binoculars.

[Roof (BAK4)] I took the Snypex Knight D-ED on a safari in Africa to observe wildlife, both from a 4x4 and on foot. The image is nice and sharp, focusing is fast and precise, and with the open frame the binocular is easy to hold. The reason I got this model is that at 380 grams / 13.4 oz it's the lightest 8x32 binocular available. On longer walks, the low weight is great! In the 4x4, I also took along the excellent 10x42 Nikon Monarch 7. During the day, the Snypex was just as bright and sharp, only when it got dark was the image of the much heavier (670 gram / 23.6 oz) Nikon brighter. If you're looking for a lightweight 8x32 with good optics, get the Snypex! My only (small) gripe is that the front lens covers are difficult to attach.

[Yes] Leica, Zeiss, and Swarokski are all excellent binos. I owned a Leica 8x32 Trinovid, it was stolen. To replace it, I tried comparable priced binos from all 3 mfgs, and preferred the Leica for crisp color. So I bought another pair of Trinovids.

[Center] These binoculars are truly fantastic. I have an old pair of trinovid 8x40 that were completely refurbished by Leica about 2 yrs ago. I thought they were great but these blow them away. What amaze me is these new one are even better in dim light than the old ones. I am used to high end glass, owning several top if the line line Nikon camera lens and spotting scopes. Only draw back is these a a little heavier than expected and the case is completely useless after the strap is installed

[Yes] For 45 years I have been using all kinds of binoculars for sightseeing, astronomy, and even professionally as a law enforcement officer (LEO) conducting surveillance for about seven years on a daily basis. I only buy and use the very best binoculars including eight Swarovski models starting with their Porros. The only type of binoculars missing from my collection was a compact, lightweight binoculars that would deliver a great image, are very sturdy, and economical. A very tall order indeed. My intention was to take it overseas to Third World countries where binoculars are seen as a potential theft target. Losing a $500 binoculars is not as painful as losing $1K or $2K. After many days of searching and comparing I decided for the Snypex Knight 8x32 D-ED. So far my experience with the Snypex has been extremely favorable and has exceeded my expectations. Since I am not an expert I will not go over the different terminology used in examining the optical quality of an instrument. Thanks to the internet you can read many excellent reviews conducted by knowledgeable experts. Suffice it to say, these Snypex binoculars have truly impressed me from the moment I got them out of the box. Compact, strong, super lightweight, smooth and positive controls, and an image rivaling the Swarovskis in clarity, brightness, and true colors.

�As if the above is not impressive enough I am here to tell that Sam, the founder/owner of Snypex, is an amazing human being. He TRULY cares about us, the end-users, of his impressive line of products. His goal from the very beginning has been not only to create a world-class, first-rate optical company, but to put a smile on each and every owner of a Snypex product. He wishes all of his customers to be happy and proud owners every time they rely on a Snypex optical instrument. Sam’s attitude speaks volumes.

Needless to say, I strongly and without any hesitations highly recommend these binoculars or any other Snypex product.

[Roof (BAK4)] This binocular has just about all the features as my 8 x 30 Swarovski SLC pair except the Celestron is significantly lighter. I can't tell the difference in optical quality unless I am holding both pairs, raising one and then the other to my eyes. If I were to go on a rugged expedition. I might carry the Swarovskis, but when I go out birding I carry these surprisingly good Celestrons.
