I received them on Friday and was able to use them on a kayaking trip on Sunday. They feel sturdy and substantially built. They were comfortable to hold and the focus was smooth. I was able to observe an osprey diving for fish. The osprey was successful on its second dive. The objectives are too small to be of much use for viewing the night sky, but I am pleased with their performance for the purpose I bought them, and they were relatively inexpensive compared to others that I considered. Consider me a satisfied customer, and I would recommend to others for inexpensive viewing in daylight conditions.
