Reviews & Ratings for Alpen Shasta Ridge 8x26 Long Eye Relief Binoculars 470 — 1 review — Page 1

Sent this one back. Was optimistic, but it was a big disappointment. The barrels were not aligned properly and I could never get a good sight picture. I could tell the optics were very nice, but I had to close one eye to do even this. The other disappointment was the ergonomics. I thought they might feel handy and small. Instead they felt too cumbersome for what they were. Too bad, I know the design is valid. Reverse Porros are usually a pleasure to use. I own the Vortex Vanquish and it's an amazing little hundred dollar tool. I'd say look at that, or better yet, chip in another 60 bucks and get the Sightron SII Sky Blue 8x32 roof prisms. They're just as handy and a lot more user friendly.
