These binos are excellent for clarity and focus(given the price range), great light gathering and magnification. But there is always a down side with any cheap product... These bins should show clear focus at 10 meters closest range, thats OK for medium to long distance viewing, but not much good for backyard birdwatching. My pair (which i am returning) were even worse than that would not focus inside 15 meters (I measured this carefully) so hopefully a second (exchanged) pair will be better. Also it appears that one of the objective lenses had a red optical coating, strange as the other three lenses are visible blue coated! all in all they not bad for cheapies, but sadly my pair were far from acceptable quality!
