Granted, these binoculars were cheap. Nevertheless still below par. They are always unsharp. The right hand eye piece adjustor works independently of the focusing ring so that when focusing both adjustors need to be set.

These sweet little scouts can fit into a pocket, a side bag, and can be tossed into the glove box of a car. Both my husband and I have a pair, and I am such a fan that I've purchased an additional three sets over the years as gifts --- twice for married couples retiring, and a third time as a wedding gift. They pack a wallop, as they say, for something this small. My brother teased that he and his wife were competing to see who could count the beats of a hummingbird's wings in 30 seconds, from 40 feet. For those of us who just need to see to the other side of the mountain, these are the item --- and for the price!!!!!

Bought these for easy-carry, no big deal to damage or lose. Minimum focus is less that 8 feet, making them great for birds and butterflies. Maximum focus depth of field is about 30 feet to infinity. Also really handy to keep around the house to grab and view through windows.

These binoculars are perfect for educational usage. They don't have any fancy gizmos or special features and are pretty durable. I recommend for such a low price!
