Consistent quality at a low price - Barska X-Trail 15x70mm Porro Prism Binoculars w/ Tripod Adapter

This binocular more than impresses me with its consistent quality from example to example for such an inexpensive pair. However, the optical performance has exceeded every 70mm binocular I've looked thru in the visual impression category. Some more expensive binoculars may be sharper but give up a good bit of field of view to get that way. For field of view, light thruput and edge sharpness these are hard to beat at any price.

Pros: Sharpness and apparent field of view
