I put these binoculars to the test with several weeks of hard hunting after receiving them last year. They are compact/light/durable. Probably could have gone with the 10X42 for better light gathering ablility, but they are still very reliable and the clarity is excellent at all distances. Only problem I had (still have) is with the focusing ring on the right eye. It's extremely tight and hard to adjust when in a hurry and without changing the center focus. Other than that they are exceptional for the money. Would recommend.

This 12x42 binocular gives very impressive sharp iamges, has no distortion, and would have excellent edge of field sharpness but for a little too much chromatic aberration (yet otherwise superb). It has brilliant clarity, contrast and light transmission. Light, rugged, very easy to use and excellent for eyeglass wearers.
