Alpen Apex 8x42 Waterproof Super Close Focus Binoculars 493
by
Legacy Reviewer,

Written on November 17, 2011
I own $600 and $800 binos. These are close enough in quality I will not buy more expensive units again. I'm very critical about optics(Leica camera owner)Clarity and colors are great. Selection of model is more important than brands. Moderate power(eg 8x) and adequate objective(40mm) is a smart choice. Eyecup system a little sticky, maybe because only cycled a few times. Strongly recommended. Bought 2 more units for family.
Pros: price vs. quality
Cons: nada
Would recommend: Yes
