Rokinon 1225 12x25 Compact Binoculars

Rating

I purchased this for my grandson for his 12th birthday. I did not know at the time he already had two others but when he started to use these he got all excited. He loved them. He thought the tinting was awesome. When kids get to this age it's hard to find things that are fun, and entertaining as well as useful. Grandma made points with this one. LOL

Well I expected a bigger product than this (the picture can mislead you) , it is extremly small and light. It is perfect for a trip where you would not like to bring heavy stuff. My 4 years old daughter loves it becuase she can carry it , it is so light and little. But if you would like to buy something bigger with more comfortable lenses to see everything wider you have to buy a different product. It is perfect for theatre events or perfect for ladies who can carry it like a purse ...I have a Binoculars with more comfortable, wider lenses and I prefer that one, it is for my daughter and my wife only...

I have two other porro prism binoculars, they are much better at a higher price though. I bought this one as a "toy" for my 8 year old daughter b/c the price is so attractive. But may be I get what I paid for. The outside look is cool, but the optics is bad. I put it on a tripod to test, and it still cannot give a sharp image, and there may be alignment problem with the two oculars as well. Perhaps it is difficult for a roof prism binocular to align. Anyhow, this binocular is now sitting in my home b/c no one wants to use it. I may have to disassemble it for parts.

These are the best compact binoculars, I used them in a theater and the vision was excellent, I wear glasses too.

I bought a pair of these for my mother, who has macular degeneration. The night help helped her see more in darkened theater.
