BRESSERBinoculars Hunter 16x50

Very pleased with these, good price.I did some online research and these came up alongside some other more expensive ones.Excellent result for £50 odd.

Now I know £40+ for a set of Bins is cheap to some experts out there. I myself am not an expert. I merely wanted some binoculars to see my 80year old neighbour Deidrie in her negligee. The HD detail these Bins provided I was soon perched inside my neighbours tree holding the bins with one hand whilst moving the plums out the way with the other. Due to the 16x zoom I was struggling to hold the image still and maybe should have considered 12x zoom instead. The Bins aren’t too heavy to hold with one hand but I do think after a short while your arms would hurt. Maybe if I used both hands to steady the image on a branch things may only would have been a bit more steady. There’s a lovely little screw thing at the front of the bins which I believe is for a tripod. I hope it’s for a tripod and not for something more shady like night vision.Anyway after getting a full HD image of Diedrie who I found out was an old bloke with long hair and a tash (who’s into some bizarre things) I quickly added the lens caps on the lenses and shimmied down a vomit soaked tree back into the comfort of my own home. That’s when I noticed a lens cap missing. Eventually finding the cap I realised the lens cover for the right hand lens is extremely poor. Must be 1mm too big that it just slides on and off without any effort. The left lens is better but slides off with very little effort. The lens covers for the eye things fit perfectly. Price wise I do believe it’s good value and the image is extremely clear. It’s just a shame about the lens cap. To sum up my experience with these binoculars; Diedrie (or her husband for the fact) have a lovely picture on their bedroom wall of a cat so my next venture is buying the exact same one.NB: The bins were actually bought for aircraft spotting and nothing else. The real facts added to the review; the lens cover issue, the 16x being possibly too magnified and 12x possibly better for spotting, the weight and using 2 hands to steady (I use the car roof), and the crispness of the image. Seem a decent pair of budget binoculars. It’s just a shame the lenses covers are rather loose fitting and could possibly end up being lost when not in use.

Bought these to replace a pair of '10-30' zoom binoculars that were picked up at a similar price to these, but that were never aligned, blurred, low field of view and really no good at all.These on the other hand, with minimal dioptre adjustment, are excellent. Comparing directly to my old pair, I see more, it's clearer, and for a change (for me anyway, at this price) I can get a clear binocular view using both eyepieces simultaneously. What a treat :)16x for me at this weight is great - no issues with stability. Focus wheel is fine, eye relief all good. Very pleased.Almost docked a star because, like other reviewers mention, the lens caps are too loose and have fallen off a dozen times already. I will eventually lose them, guaranteed.Case is exactly what you'd expect at this price, soft but perfectly usable.

We wish we had spent a little more time on binoculars they wasn’t quite strong enough for 150 yards coverage

We like to look at ships on the horizon. These binoculars are really good for what we wanted. There is a slight shake if you don’t have a tripod but that has not been a problem to us. As long as your hands don’t shake too much it’s amazing the distance you can see with them. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend them.

These binoculars are very good. The quality is good, the focusing is a bit fiddly at times but Ok. Eye relief is very good for 16 x magnification and images good.

Very happy with the purchase of the binoculars and will use the seller again

Arrived fast, easy to use even though I wear glasses
