High magnification and small lens diameter should warn you to expect very low light. Indeed it is so when you look through these binoculars. To be able to see anything, stay at minimal magnification. Higher mag just means much less light, more...

Good as a moderately priced, compact high power zoom

 

Good as a moderately priced, compact high power zoom

As long as you have realistic expectations concerning the amount of light available from a 27mm lens at over 30x you won't be disappointed, especially for the [high] price. I have a number of other fixed power, modestly priced 25mm binoculars and...

Mediocre at best

I went for these binocs after reading so many favorable reviews, but I would not recommend them... For these Meade's you need tremendous light and they have a narrow field of view. At the maximum zoom they are worthless and even at the minimum zoom...

Big Zoom, Small Package

 

Big Zoom, Small Package

I'm not an expert on binoculars - I just needed some for watching wildlife, sporting events, and babes at the beach. I wanted something compact, but I figured that unless these things were the size of telescopes you didn't get very good magnification....

I have received an email notice that this item is in stock, but when I go to the screen, it says it is not. I definitely want to order it, but don't know how to do so when there is no shopping cart on that page!!

Don't Be Fooled By its Size!

This binocular has the power of magnification I'd expect to find in heavy and bulky units. I was fooled by its weight and size and thought it was weak before I even looked through it. I was amazed at the power and clarity this binoclar provides even at...

Excellent at the price....but

 

Excellent at the price....but

Compact and light but 27mm objectives limit useful power to around 30x, anything higher requires a tripod anyway. Still,for brilliant days it's nice to have the potential. If price is a factor this is a good choice.

Good Product for the price

 

Good Product for the price

well, i have used the product and found its magnification and the resolution satisfactory..yes because of the 27" lenses the amount of light capture is less and could have been better.. Still good product for the price

Product Specifications

Every Meade binocular incorporates quality optical components, durable optical housings, and precision mechanical components for years of high-performance observing. Binoculars are available in hundreds of specifications and with a multitude of different features, but all share the same three basic components. The main (objective) lenses of a binocular serve to collect light, thereby enabling the high-resolution observation of distant objects. In a quality binocular each objective lens typically is manufactured of two separate glass elements, the so-called crown and flint elements. The refractive specifications of these elements permit the objective lens to image objects free of false colors. Since the objective lenses form images that are both upside-down and reversed left-for-right, prisms are required to invert the primary image. Most commonly, binoculars utilize either porro prisms or roof prisms for this purpose. Porro prisms give binoculars their familiar zigzag profile, while roof prisms permit a straight-line design. Either type of prism, properly manufactured, yields excellent optical results. The ocular, or eyepiece, design included with a binocular has important performance implications. While the most basic function of an eyepiece is to magnify the image formed by the objective lens, in fact the eyepiece also largely determines the binoculars field of view, edge-of-field image resolution, and other characteristics. From two to five glass elements are used in the manufacture of the eyepieces. With this knowledge of the basic components of a binocular, it is now possible to understand the technical terminology that will enable selection of the right binocular for you.
