Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received a set of these binoculars directly from Celestron as a replacement for a defective set of their 8-24x25 Traveler zoom binoculars (which have now been discontinued). These should have been AT LEAST as good as the Traveler set (if not better), but instead they are worse (see my review for the Traveler for more details)! These binoculars have the cheaper grade BK7 prisms (whereas the Traveler set has the BAK4 prisms). At low magifications (about 8x to 11x) there is some kind of debris hanging at the top of the field of view. The collimation is bad once I zoom up to about 21x to 22x magnification. And these binoculars are virtually impossible to get properly focused at almost any magnification. I don't want to have to get "warranty" on them, since I don't care to go through the same hassles as I did with the initial set of Traveler binoculars (Celestron doesn't put customer service first), and so I'm just going to get rid of them. My advice to anyone looking to buy a set of small zoom binoculars: DON'T buy these, OR the Celestron Traveler. Put out a little extra money, and buy a set of Nikon or Pentax zoom binoculars (or any other high quality manufacture that makes small zoom binoculars).
