I usually am a review reader not writer But I felt these binoculars were worthy of me dropping a few lines ! Being a "Pack-in" Hunter (most week-ends) I was looking for a compact/Hi quality binocular that will do well in low light conditions. Price was no object but it was ! I want the best "Bang for my buck" that I can get !! I Started off with a pair of Steiner 10X25 predators'. While not bad pair of Noc's they are nothing to write home about either. Next I tried a pair of 10X25 Swarovski's . A vastly better pair of noc's than the Steiner's (Low light and over all) still the light gathering ability wasn't there for dusk and dawn viewing. Now I know that 25mm objective lens is not best suited for low light but, I had to go to the top end and try them... Having counter tried about every top end noc's out there and searched birding forums hunting forums ect. ect. I ran across these Kowa's quite by chance . Having used a Kowa spotting scope a few years back and loved it . I thought if they make binoculars as good as there spotting scopes these baby's will be the ticket !! I tried to put my hands on them locally to try them out but could not find a pair. So the order was on ! I am so glad I did these Kowa's will hold there own with ANY 10X32's made !! Let alone there 1/3 the price of some !! Bright, clear ,very wide viewing angle. Small and light . What more could a hunter ask for !! 5 stars from me... William Powell
