A sturdy first buy

Though these weren't the pair I set out to buy, I am completely happy with what the sales clerk recommended. A great price for the quality, these binoculars have a great angle of view that makes it easy to track quick-moving birds. The biggest drawback, which isn't uncommon in binoculars is the chromatic aberration, most noticeable on bright days with high-contrast objects. It can make tracking patterning and colors on detailed birds difficult. Even still, I'm happy with my first serious binocular purchase and will surely be using them for years to come.
