Expert Review Doesn't get much better than this..... - Meopta MeoPro HD 10x42mm Roof Prism Binocular

New for 2015, the Meopro HD 10X42 binos that I've spent a few months reviewing have all the bells and whistles at a pretty surprisingly "lower" cost.

Disclaimer* I have not used these hunting yet. I know many of you will be purchasing these with the intention of using them to hunt but I haven't had the opportunity to take them hunting yet so can't give you the run down of how they've held up while doing so.

With that out of the way, I have however used them for a long list of uses like calling hits on steel targets 400 yards, some nature sight seeing, and even some digiscoping their 44mm iphone adapter. Pretty much everything you'd ever use bino's for except glass game that I was ready to shoot.

Through all of this testing, there's been a few things that have stuck out to me as usable features that for me justify the $900 street price. I'm not going to bore you by riddling off specifications or a bunch of optical terminology.

What "I" Like About Them:
-The Housing. Their built with a quality that reminds me of a well built high-end watch. On top of that they also do an extremely well job of staying grippy even when my hands get abnormally sweaty. Yes a lot of bino manufacturers do this BUT on these they're not overly grippy where they get hung up on your clothes or pack when moving.

-Clarity. It's second to none out of optics in this price range.

-Light Transmission. At 99.7 its also some of the highest in its price range as well. I can personally attest to this after getting to a nice lookout point longer than expected and dusk has set in.

-Camera Adapters. This particular bino from Meopta worked flawlessy with their MeoPix digiscoping adapter and I was able to get some really cool shots with my iphone that looked like something you'd take on a dslr with a telephoto lens.

-Focus. Its extremely precise and smooth, which allows you to get that "just right" adjustment.

-Focus Hinge. This might be a weird thing to like about them but Im a fan of the stiffness of the hinge on this bino because its way harder when grippy the bino for extended periods of time for it to bend in and lose your sight picture/focal concentration.
