CelestronNature DX ED 8x42 Premium Binoculars –Extra-Low Dispersion Objective Lenses –Outdoor and Birding Binocular–Fully Multi-Coated with BaK-4 Prisms–Rubber Armored – Fog & Waterproof Binoculars

Very happy with these binoculars. They are lite and easy to handle. Small and not bulky. Image is excellent. Focus is easy and works well. Great for bird watching or other terrestrial viewing. Am very happy with the purchase. Well worth the money.

Super sharp images. Adjustments easy and quick. I wear glasses and have not had to remove them while using these binoculars. Quality is better than expected especially at this price. Weight - don’t even feel them. Nice and light.

Beautiful set of glass at a price point that will allow usage consistently without fear of damaging/losing that pair of $500+ optics. A view through these optics presents a world that is bright, sharp, and colors true to life. The close 6.5’ focusing distance is appreciated for magnifying small wildlife such as butterflies.This may be owed to the extra-low dispersion objective lenses, however glare is minimal even when aiming the objective lenses towards the direction of the sun; color distortion is also maintained well in these optics.The only “con” I find can find with these optics is they suffer from slight pincushion distortion that presents at the corners of the FOV - but this is something minor that likely will not effect most users’ overall experience, and a flaw that can be overlooked at this price.I would highly recommend this pair of optics for beginner and avid nature observers alike.

Picture quality does not disappoint true Ed High dispersion glass . Clarity is stellar I have Ed telescopes so this is true quality glass . The Negative is the twist up eye caps are very cheaply made and does not fully block out the surrounding light . For this price they should be better. They do have good range of depth . The eye cap protectors in the rear are removable and not that snug . The front eye caps look as if they will break off easy. Adjustment is not the highest quality but is still very good . These are still worth the price for the true clarity of Ed glass unlike gosky which I bought a monocular few years ago that was definitely not Ed glass even though they say they are stay away from that brand. Overpriced junk fake Ed these binoculars are true Ed glass and provide top notch light gathering ability and true color. I’m satisfied with first impressions.

I took these binoculars hiking deep in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador and they were excellent. Waterproof, lightweight, superior clarity and magnification. Also used with glasses, they adapt for use with or without glasses. They were as good as the large telescope that the local guide carried. They’re also good for backyard birding.

My hands, arms, and shoulders get really tired and sore when I use binoculars in the field. These are light-weight. They focus sharply—just as well as heavier/more expensive binoculars we own. I’m able to enjoy birding again without pain. the case is super-nice. The only “con” is that the padded section of the strap that sits on my neck really isn’t “padded”. The one on the strap for our Vanguard binoculars is thicker and more comfortable. Still, I’m very pleased with the Celestron and would recommend.

Very good binoculars for birding. I am glad I came across them on a review site that recommended them as a lower budget bino. I have no need to buy more expensive ones.

Great all-around full-size binoculars, mostly used for short to medium range bird watching. And to look for our cat in the wooded gully back of our house. Really clear for our amateur (and aging) bird watching eyes. Too heavy for vacations, so we got pocket Nikons which are good for travel/hiking, but the Celestron DX is much easier to see with. Over a year and still happy with them.
