OBERWERK8x42 Sport ED Binocular

Been looking for a reasonably priced set of binoculars for bird watching for a few years. These are not inexpensive binoculars- but they are worth every penny (my opinion). The optics are crystal clear. The set is medium in weight and solid-feeling. I’ll be using these for many years.

Amazon is quick on delivery today with the recommended Oberwerk 10x42 SE seriesI do note the focus tolerance sweet spot is tight in getting it just right but in the past when having the Zeiss and Swarovski there was a wider sweet spot of that perfect focus, being more open to needing to be right on it, if that make sense but for $372 out the door these are very sharp and the edge focus is great and don't see and CA so far.There diffidently worth every penny and Oberwerk glass has always been on the side of the birder and astronomer, good work! they will sell a lot of these.

Horrible focus. Can focus left eye but them right eye focus gives me a headache. Horrible unprofessional product ! Much worse than my zeiss terra 10x42 and my nikon 10x56. Bad quality!

I bought these binoculars for a trip to Africa. Several times guides asked to use my binoculars and were impressed with the quality. They’re a light enough that I carried them all the time and they gave me good close-up views of our sightings. Reviews compared these binoculars to ones over $3000. I’m very pleased with them and highly recommend them

These are very good binoculars. Well made and solid. The only issue is that I wear eyeglasses and no matter how I adjusted the eyecups I would see blackouts around the image. Must be my glasses or face structure but it did not work for me. I love these binoculars but couldn't get around the eye relief issue advertised at 18mm. That said, do not hesitate to purchase these wonderful optics unless you are an eyeglass wearer. If you wear eyeglasses I would suggest that you try them in person first. Very good optics!
