Our view

An excellent group of compacts with a price that constantly produces surprise. It is a common occurrence here at the OpticsShop to demonstrate the performance of these compacts (particularly the 8X25), and having done so, witnessing the look of disbelief on the face of the customer when the price is revealed. A good choice of inexpensive compact to have in the car glove compartment, to carry when trail walking, and as a gift for those who simply enjoy watching the birds on the back garden feeder. 

Tips

For the best optical quality, choose the 8X25. If you are a local patch birder and have a young child, a pair of the 8X25 Vegas may be the price you have to pay to encourage the child to regularly come with you..................it's better than staying indoors
