Cliente Kindle: Simplesmente o melhor binóculo que já tive!
Anteriormente possuia um binóculo de entrada bem barato então ele quebrou, por isso decidi comprar este celeston, que escolha boa! Foi um passo imenso, até agora não tive problemas, muito pelo contrário esta sendo incrível a experiência, trabalho com aves e está me surpreendendo muito, acredito que no Brasil não exista equipamento melhor nessa faixa de preço.

RMN: The good: The apparent FoV and image brightness are quite good for the price. They're not heavy, build quality seems good and the textured rubber coating is comfortable. In addition to the diopter adjustment, they can focus beyond infinity, which makes them suited to astronomy even for people who wear glasses. The lens caps are pretty good, and remain attached to the binoculars (the "rainguard" attaches to the neck strap).

The not so good: The ED glass does reduce chromatic aberration a bit, but everywhere except the very middle of the image still has some green / magenta fringing. There is some internal reflection / glare when looking at bright objects. The focusing mechanism is a bit "soft" in the middle (this isn't too bad if it stays as it is, but I have a feeling it might get worse over time). The nylon carrying case is so-so and the neck strap is terrible.

Berna: I have been looking for a pair of good binoculars for birdwatching and I didn’t have any idea about how to choose the right one for me. After some research, I came across to this one and I am very happy with my choice. The image quality is so good, it is easily adjustable to my face and not very heavy to carry around. I can see the full moon very clearly and even some stars at night even though it is not meant for stargazing. Very fast and safe delivery with Amazon. Highly recommended!

Kathy Lincoln: These 12 power binoculars are excellent for bird watching. Crystal clear, sharp, bright optics, true colors. I have no better binoculars anywhere near this price range. I rate them 6 starrs!

Tyler Penney: Beautiful set of glass at a price point that will allow usage consistently without fear of damaging/losing that pair of $500+ optics. A view through these optics presents a world that is bright, sharp, and colors true to life. The close 6.5’ focusing distance is appreciated for magnifying small wildlife such as butterflies.
This may be owed to the extra-low dispersion objective lenses, however glare is minimal even when aiming the objective lenses towards the direction of the sun; color distortion is also maintained well in these optics.
The only “con” I find can find with these optics is they suffer from slight pincushion distortion that presents at the corners of the FOV - but this is something minor that likely will not effect most users’ overall experience, and a flaw that can be overlooked at this price.

I would highly recommend this pair of optics for beginner and avid nature observers alike.

carlos: Precio contenido para una excelente óptica ED, con gran nitidez y color natural. Enfoque suave y rápido.La aberración cromática en los objetos muy contrastados, bien corregida, casi imperceptible. Los oculares de giro, tienen dos posiciones, dan sensación de endebles, y no están a la altura de la calidad de la óptica. El alivio ocular de 14,3 mm. anunciado, lo encuentro escaso si se utilizan gafas, obligando a quitarlas y extender los oculares, para una visión completa y relajada. En mi caso particular, el aspecto negativo, y que me ha obligado a devolverlos, ha sido la elevada distancia interpupilar mínima de 63 mm que tiene, algo por encima de la mía, lo que no me hace cómoda la visión. Extraño, porque esta marca en otros modelos parte de los 56 mm de apertura mínima.

Piet: These are an excellent pair of binoculars. I would highly recommend them. The lenses are top quality and they are easy to focus. The body is light weight and feels comfortable in the hand. I’ve tried less expensive binoculars in the $100 range and these are far superior and worth the extra cost

Michael W.: I’ve been using Nikon Monarchs for years now (8x42) for hunting, and they spoiled me. My eyes refuse to look through junk lenses. When I wanted another set to enjoy birds in the backyard, I wanted something in 12 power and I didn’t want to break the bank. I tried several inexpensive but highly rated models on Amazon and found them to be what I would consider ‘toys’. When I found the Celestron 12x50 ED for far less than the comparable Nikon, i thought them worth a try. Celestron has a solid reputation For their telescopes and I was confident they know lenses.

When I ordered, they we’re out of stock and expected in two weeks. To my surprise, they arrived from Amazon within a week.

My first impression out of the box was that they felt like good quality equipment. I proceeded to the backyard with both the Celestron and my trusty Monarchs for a quick view and comparison. I was very pleased. The Celestron 12x50 ED’s were every bit as sharp and crisp as my more expensive monarchs (8x42), with good eye relief and smooth easy focus. Colors seemed slightly deeper through the Nikons (greens in particular), but it’s very close and could...
