Excellent value and clarity. - Covert Optics 10x42mm Roof Prism Binocular

This is my first pair of binoculars and I could not be more satisfied with this purchase! I picked these up on closeout so it really is a tremendous value! They have ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass and they certainly perform like it. These binocs have the Starbright coating on them which is the exact same coating used on my Celestron SCT telescope and they have sharp, clear images as a result. The build quality is superb, the diopter adjustment and tripod mount are both very nice bonus features. The case is very nice and has a shoulder strap. The binocs has lense caps for both ocular and the objective lenses and the ocular lens caps have a loop for the padded neckstrap which was well-conceived. The focus adjustment knob (and these binocs, for that matter) is the perfect size for adjusting on while viewing at different distances and the ocular eyepieces click to 3 preset extensions for the eyeglass wearers. I highly recommend this 10x42 model if you are looking for a pair of good binocs at an affordable price. On closeout, they are a fantastic deal and i could not have asked for a better one!
