I saw this post and felt I should sign up since I do much reading on here but never get involved. I own about 25 binoculars collection that range from mid-price to expensive. I've been very curious about these great value binoculars I've been reading about and decided to order a few to try out. Just two weeks ago I ordered the Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiant and the Zhumell Tachyon 25x100.

I've been very pleased and very happy with these two models and they are fully multicoated (FMC). All I can say is that I'm very impressed how well they are built and how well the optics are, and at these prices..... I feel they are a real steal, just an unbelievable deal compared to what I've had to spend in the past on binoculars.

I also only own one telescope that I purchased back in 1986 when I was 17 years old, the Celestron Super C8 Plus that I still have today. I'm now going to try the Williams Optics Binoviewer with it.

I don't see how anyone couldn't be happy with the Zhumell two models binoculars I have now. I haven't had any problems with either model, all came in great working order and no problems with anything. For the price, these are great binoculars and even better than some of the binoculars I already have. Hope this helps, Catbo.

Well if they work as well as my 20X80 Zhumell that I got for $69.00 I would say you are getting a great deal. A lot of people turn up there nose at these binoculars because they are being sold at such a low price....but hay mine work and work well. Now looking at the 25X100... LOL

I have the Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiant that I got for $69.00 too, it's an incredible deal, still can't believe just what a great deal!! You won't see me turning my nose down to these at all, I own other binoculars so when I compare them to what I have for many times the cost of these, they are very nice optics and built nice.

The Zhumell Tachyon 25x100 are individual focus and the Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiant is center focus so I'm glad I got both models to have both when I need to focus fast or take my time, depending on situation.

In this case of Zhumell..... you really do get way more than you pay for. I'm 100% satisfied with both these models! Binoculars.com was also very easy to work with as I had ordered about 6 binoculars from them and they got the order to me complete and quickly.

I think sometimes people forget how cheap labor and materials are in China, this is the cost savings that make these binoculars so affordable to us in the US. Low price with very good performance and build.
