Vanguard endeavor ed 10.5 x 45 - Vanguard Endeavor ED 10.5x45mm Binoculars 1045

This is a nice pair of binoculars. I purchased these for birding and have not been disappointed. The color and light transmission is amazing. The 10.5 allows me to see details that those with 8x don't see. The build quality is very good. I would give it 5 stars except one of the eyecups does not firmly click into position. Not annoying enough to return, but annoying enough to mention. This has to be a top consideration if you are looking for good optical quality for value. I looked at virtually all of the other brand name binoculars that received good reviews on birding websites (and that cost less that $1,000) and the optical quality on these was visually superior to all others. I should note that I have excellent vision and especially long range vision and optical distortion drives me crazy in sunglasses and binoculars. For the price the optical quality on these is remarkable.
