Fantastic binoculars! - Carson 10x50mm 3D Series Binocular

I spent many days researching the various brands of imported binoculars (yes, they are made in China to Carson's specs). I also went to several department stores to compare brands. Unfortunately I could not find these locally, so I had to work from memory. When I unpacked these and compared them to my Pentax porros these were brighter and sharper. The pentax bins were 12X but these seemed closer in brightness to my Leitz 10x60's. Around dusk, these bins really shine. They also do very well at night for astro viewing. The ED version is definitely better color-wise- I tried both so I know. No need to hesitate- these are great bins!
