These Advanced binoculars are for the serious observer and come at higher price.
Richy GordonReviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2025Style Name: SkyMaster 25 x 70 Porro
PrismVery good for the money after Amazon discounts. Sturdy comfortable and hard wearing by the feel and weight. And that might be only downside. You wouldn’t want them hanging around your neck for too long ! Quality bit of kit 👍👍👍”
