Great for birding! Surprisingly good quality!

Great for birding! Surprisingly good quality!
I bought the 10x25 Zeiss Terra ED because I needed to get a lightweight, compact binoc that would be easy to take to parks and put in my backpack for birding around town. I tried a compact Leica but it was too heavy and not that easy to focus - and overkill price-wise for what I wanted to do. These binocs fit the bill!It is small (see pix) and, although not as light-weight as I wanted, the quality is so good, I've kept them. (Too heavy to put in a woman's light-weight jacket, though.) It feels really well made and durable. And the best is the extra light it lets in compared to my old binocs. I find that I am using these binocs a lot for general birding. Heads up - it comes with a neck strap but no protective carrying bag - and the little carrying case is a bit bulky. Still, highly recommend!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Travelers!
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2017
Although I read glowing reports for these pocket Zeiss Terra ED 8x25 light (<11oz) carry binoculars, my previous 4 month ownership of the Swaro CL 8X25 pockets had tempered my expectations. However, I found these small glassing gems to perform optically and ergonomically within 95% of the venerable and well built CL's (at 1\3 the price)! They, just as the CL, have handling and comfort limitations compared to compact or full size binoculars. But for quick trip non-intrusive viewing, ease of portability and very accurate powered views, these little pockets are hard to beat.

Overall, they possess very nice ergonomics, have natural color presentation, crystalline resolution that is real sharp and bright, with very good contrast views. Their FOV (field of view), whose sweet spot extends to within 10% of their wide 357ft limit, has a comfortable and stereoptic DOF (depth of field) . Hinge tensions are perfect, and the focuser is fast, going from close focus (mine's about 5ft) CW to infinity in just 1.25 turns. Eye cup adjustments lock fully in (for eye glass wearers) and fully out (non-eye glass wearers). My vision is 20\15 and with the very comfortable eye cups fully extended and resting on my brow, I can align the small EP (exit pupil=3.1) with my pupils, gaining a full unobstructed sigh picture! With its ED glass, CA (chromatic aberrations) is well controlled and I find day light\low light viewing to be bright, natural and enjoyable! Diopter is set on the front dial (for the right barrel) and has enough resistance to stay put.

Made in Japan for Zeiss, they offer a lot of features and performance at a great value point. These will make great travel companions and will be back-ups for my full sized field excursion instruments!
