Wingspan Optics Skyview Ultra HD 8X42 Binoculars - ED Glass, Waterproof, Wide Field of View for Bird Watching, Hunting & Outdoor Adventures | Perfect for Adults & Wildlife Enthusiasts

I purchased this product after many hours of research about internet recomdations, types and quality of binoculars, their purposes, and their prices. My goal was to purchase binoculars which were affordable, very good quality, which were suitable to my overriding objective, a pair of birdwatching binoculars for my beautiful wife, who is over years young. Ultimately, this is the product I selected, and it arrived this morning --- time enough to wrap a Christmas in July (2020) message on the wrapping paper.She was thrilled, and after I got acquainted with the product, I was very pleased that the product met my hopes. It was perfect for my purposes. Incredibly sharp, bright colors and images, easy to use, and with a 2 meter minimum focus range so that she can closely view the birds who daily gather at the end of our front porch to feed. We could easily read car license plate numbers 60 yards away. I did not try further than that.Attaching the halyard (neck strap) was a bit of a challenge, but after viewing several on-line videos, it did get done successfully. I'm not the sharpest pickle in the barrow, but I did get it done.I need to say that these are not heavy binoculars. But my wife has not got a great deal of arm strength, and so she had some difficulty holding them steady. But, with an optional lbrace (through 3rd party suppliers) and with a tripod, both of which are possible with the product, she should be able to watch both the porch birds and those much farther away, any time she wants.I would absolutely buy this product again.
