I bought these specifically for a safari in Africa. Used them for watching birds and game, both large and small. they were excellent. Very clear and good field of view. Made all the difference when spotting all types of animals, near and far. They are very well made and comfortable to handle. No problems at all dispite dusty (most of the safari) and damp conditions (at Victoria Fall). The quality difference over smaller lens binoculars makes them worth the small premium in price. I am absolutely delighted with them and recommend them highly
