Top tier performance for mid-tier price.
The Forge 8x42 offer extremely comfortable viewing, no discernable color fringing and are sharp. These have been highly regarded by birders who have used far more expensive optics from Swarovski, Zeiss and Leica. For a good perspective, check out what user Canip has said on various internet forums.

Great optics for the money
I have had these for a few years and use them for birding. The view is very easy on the eyes. Other similarly price optics do not seem to collimate into one image as well. Sharpness is about 80% of the field of view. They feel so solid. Compared to my Swarovski el's and Nikon Premiers they are not quite as bright or sharp especially toward the edges. Contrast is not as good especially with a backlight subject. Compared to Vortex, Zeiss and other sub $1000 binoculars they as as good or better. Highly recommended!
Pros:
- Great eye relief
- Sharp & bright optics.
- Ease of use ie collimation
Cons:
- Not in the league of the very best in terms of color saturation, contrast and sharpness.
