I first learned about the Vanguard ED 1045 from a very positive review in "Living Bird", a publication of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I purchased a pair and the company was extremely helpful. My husband was so excited about them that, in order to be able to use my pair, I gave him a pair of his own for his birthday. We are both interested in birds and nature in general, live in a rural area and both of us have been most impressed by the clarity and ease of use of these binoculars. I would highly recommend them! They are an amazing value!
Pros: Absolutely terrific! Easy to use and incredibly clear.
Cons: The extended eyepiece tends to retract too easily.
