ZEISS Terra ED Binoculars 8x32 Waterproof, and Fast Focusing with Coated Glass for Optimal Clarity in All Weather Conditions for Bird Watching, Hunting, Sightseeing, Grey

I have the 8x25 version of these binoculars. They come with a hard carry case and strap. They are extraordinarily light and portable. I have fairly large hands and these fit very comfortably into my right hand with my index finger falling naturally on to the large focusing wheel. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the design for ease of handling and usability.I have been using binoculars for birdwatching for twenty years or more and have used a range of makes, including Swarovski and other high price brands. The brightness and sharpness of image in these little Zeiss binoculars is very impressive, especially given that the lens diameter is just 25mm.They are very good value for the price I paid and with their excellent portability I can carry them with me pretty much everywhere and I anticipate getting a lot of use from them (even though I have some larger binoculars and telescopes etc. for more focussed nature watching expeditions!))

I am so pleased and impressed with these excellent binoculars.Excellent clarity and range for this compact item.Well packed and delivered promptly.

For travel I've been using Praktika Sport 8x25.These Zeiss Terra 8x25 are a world apart. Way brighter and so much sharper. A great pair of travel bins, light and compact.

Very clear image

Having read various reviews I expected good performance but was amazed by just how good they are. Sure Swarovskis are better but still in the same ballpark and I was comparing 8x36's to a pair of 8x25's. Pretty good in poor light as well and small enough to just stuff in a pocket. Another huge advantage is I can afford to lose or damage them or just chuck them on the back seat of the car. Not something I'm happy doing with £1500 pound kit.

The quality of the lenses is very high, I was surprised by the clear crisp images. The only problem is that the build is not sturdy and meaning knocks will put the bins out of sync. The first set I received were out of sync within 2 months so I sent them to Zeiss for repair, I had to foot the bill of the postage to their offices in Germany. Again now 5 months later and with little usage, the bins are out of sync again. This time I will not bother sending them back and just write it off as a bad purchase.

These binoculars arrived the next day and surpassed all our expectations. They are truly light and compact and a beautiful fit in your hand. Not so small as to make them awkward to use. We already had a tiny pair of cheaper binoculars but the clarity of these and the amount of light they let in is remarkable for their size and equals much larger ones. Definitely worth the money.
