Rob's Review of Sightron 10x42mm SII Roof Prism Binoculars

I am a big fan and supporter of the Sightron SII Blue Sky 8x32 and 10x32 series.
I own both and they are remarkable for the money.
These new 10x42's turned out to have a very sharp picture.
Sharper than most 10x42's.

I do have some concerns that keeps me from giving them a 5 star rating.
The first concern is merely personal preference.
The easiest way to explain it, is to visualize a petite or compact item you may own
...perhaps a handy little pocket knife, or even a small sports car.
Now blow it up 60% and it loses something, …handiness, utility, perhaps ergonomics.
That's what I feel with these. It's not a fault, just a preference.
These are very large binoculars.
There are hundreds of very large binoculars to choose from.
I will admit they are quite light though.

My other concern is the focus wheel. It is a bit small.
In fact, it's the same focus wheel from the small 8x32 and 10x32 models.
It feels out of place on this large pair.

These are still a very reliable and worthy pair.
Binoculars are nothing if they are not sharp,
and these are sharp.
Pros:
  • Sharp Image
  • Light weight for size
Cons:
  • very large binoculars
Best Used for:
  • detail
Would Recommend: Yes
