Zeiss 8 X 42 Design

Durable ; Lightweight ; Simple Controls

Good decent bins, attractive design and do what they are supposed to

No neck strap, eye end lenses caps not attached with string. No case

Focussing and handles well. Nice ergonomic design

Other reviews talked about weak lens cap. Agree it is poor. It should come in an appropriate case.

Good quality and robust feel to binoculars.

No neck strap provided

Such a clear image. Favtastic vaule for money

No hard case...

All of the above factors

Lack of a hard case !

Saw 3 humpback whales at Ythan Estuary on first outing. That'll probably be the highlight of these particular Zeiss' life, but hey, not bad at all.

Hard leather case as per the old Jenoptem's would've been good. The protection within backpack or suitcase is pretty poor

Good value for a Zeiss branded product.

Fiddly fitting straps/harness

Well made glasses with excellent optics and nice feel. Very happy with the product.

The lens caps are a bit flimsy and don't fit very well. It's a shame these don't match the same quality as the glasses themselves. I also didn't like the cloth material carry bag. I would prefer to have had a hard case. A thin lightweight plastic case...

Very comfortable and easy to use; bright image and viewing; good style

Objective lens covers irritating as these keep falling off.
