Kite Lynx HD+ 10x50 Binoculars + Gift

Very clear

These are much better than my previous binoculars. It shows that "you get what you pay for". I am very pleased with them.

Quality Optics worth the money

At first I baulked a little at the price tag but I know that in life most of the time you only get what you pay for. These Binoculars are a huge step up from my much cheaper 8x30 Nikons in terms of build quality, image brightness and colour and I am very pleased with my purchase. The free gift I chose was the harness and pouch which is a little bit of a tight fit but does the job adequately.

Excellent clarity in low light

I thought I would simply love these binoculars, but comparing to my cheaper Barr & Stroud 12 X 56 set, the only benefit perceivable to me is that these are much lighter, and the smaller magnification means the image a bit steadier. Paying around 3 times the price, I was hoping these would blow my mind, but we have to accept limitations posed by physics and that I have colour vision weakness. The build quality feels better than my Barr & Stroud, but only time will tell. The Barr & Stroud have gone through some tough times in bumpy dusty terrain. Don't get me wrong, these are an excellent set of binoculars. Low light capability is great with the large 50mm glass. However, I cannot honestly say I feel that these are amazing enough to warrant paying such a price. I am also disappointed by the warranty, which seems impressive at first - 30 years. This only covers manufacturing defects. Other high value binoculars come with better warranty terms, even covering some accidental damage.
