Binoculars

I finally got driven mad by the rain guard provided by Swarovski for my bins. It's beautifully engineered but about as user-friendly as a cornered rat. The 43mm Opticron version is a perfect fit and a million times better than the manufacturer's original.

After having to go and pick up my telescope up from the couriers tonight I'm very impressed with the ease in which this telescope went together and i can't wait for my adaptor to show so that I can get some decent shots of the moon etc and the...

These really are a great pair of small, light, compact 10x25 binoculars. I wanted a cheap pair that was easy to carry around stuffed into a pocket - which these certainly are - but the quality and clarity of the image is far beyond my expectation for...

Pros. Seems well built. Optic quality is ok not as bright as I was hoping but reasonable. I like the eyecup adjustment so easy to switch from glasses to no glasses. SIze is easy to hold. Easy to focus, the reticules are fine. Cons the compass does not...

well made, filters out other light wavelengths to reveal nebula - picked out M42 in Orion with mixed sky conditions - should be interesting. Little concerned that the lens coating could be easily damaged, tried cleaning dust off with a standard lens...

Bought a pair of these as a gift for my Dad a couple of years ago and was so impressed I bought a pair for myself a year later. They're fairly heavy/bulky to carry around so, unless you're a keen "spotter" of one thing or another, you probably wouldn't...

The Pentax Papilio 8.5x21 binoculars can zoom in on your prey (or, you know, just the countryside) with impressive skill, offering 8.5x magnification, as well as a 50cm close focus, 21mm lens. They came out tied for top in our Iceland group test -...

The rating - 4 stars - has to be taken in the context of the price, £7 at the time of review. These are not a toy, but there are obviously some compromises in both construction, materials and optical quality when they're so cheap. They're not Swarovski...

I bought these for my boyfriend for his birthday after having used another Sunagor model of binoculars whilst on holiday in the rainforest in Costa Rica. Having binoculars on the trip was an absolute must-have as I would not have been able to see most...

The Canon 15x50 IS All Weather binoculars will set you back a hefty sum (£676), but they're worth every penny if you're an outdoors enthusiast. With 50mm lens and a whopping 15x magnification, they don't come much better than this. They even boast...

Yet to be used "in anger" but meet specification

These were returned as faulty as I could not adjust them enough to be usable. It seems to be a case of form over function as they look really good but was very disappointed with them

Extremely pleased with the telescope and the service from Orion. Viewing the heavens with great delight.
