Comments about Leupold Leupold 8 x 42mm Acadia Green Ring Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular with 7.5 Degree Angle of View, Mossy Oak Breakup:

I wanted a great pair of lenses for birding and nature viewing. These Acadias are amazingly clear and bright even at dusk. I compared them to many different models and makes and they matched the quality of lenses costing 3 times as much.

What I really liked about this model is the smooth,quick focus and the diopter is placed just under the knob. Sometimes I bump it out of adjustment but no design is perfect. The twist up eye cups have 3 positions and are comfortable.

What I don't like is the lens covers suck, the strap is ichey and you must twist down the eye cups to fit the binos in the case. I think this forces you to adjust them more then necessary and I am concerned about excessive wear.

This can be fixed with a better case and covers Leupold!
