Kruger columbia sportswear 8x42 timberline binoculars - Columbia by Kruger Optical Timberline 8x42 Waterproof Binoculars 52006 w/ BAK-4 Prisms

I needed a close focus bino for birds, dragonflies and butterflies. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice craftsmanship, clear image and true color. The focusing is smooth and precise. Low light performance very good.

Include is an attractive semi-rigid case which has enough room for a harness and small cleaning kit. The neck strap is wide and is made from a wicking material rather than the usual hot, smelly neoprene.


Pros: close focus, true color. bright image, waterproof, fully multicoated lenses
Cons: heavy enough to require a harness
