Not sure what to say. Usually i don't need to mess w/ diopter adjustment, but can't seem to dial in this one. Not enough adjustment, so focus isn't crisp. gonna try and send in for a replacement. we'll see what we get back.

First pair lasted about a month before the prism broke loose. Paid $25 plus shipping, sent them back to Celestron and received a new pair. The second pair lasted a week and the prism broke loose. The binoculars have been sitting ever since. How many times do you want to pay $25 pus shipping? I've got a pair I'll give you!!

These glasses are good for our intended perpous. We bought to keep near a window. From that window we can see across the valley to a clearcut and to watch the birds that come into our feeder. They are good for what we intended.
