Barska Colorado Reverse Porro Zoom Binoculars

Well, things could get worse! I personally really like these binoculars! I have been an amateur astronomer for over 35 years and have a lot of experience with all kinds of telescopes and binoculars. Of course I have better binoculars than Barsky but for the price you really get a great discount! I didn't actually get them for astronomy, but for terrestrial use. I needed a decent aperture with zoom capability. Most amateur astronomers will shy away from zoom binoculars, but I disagree if you…

Pros
  • Stable View: The binoculars have a shock-absorbing rubber coating for a comfortable, secure and non-slip grip. The tripod is adjustable.
Cons
  • Dubious purchase for old people

. I haven't seen more reviews mentioning poor focusing on this

Somewhat surprised I haven't seen more reviews mentioning poor focusing. Now understand that these are great value binoculars and you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to optics. The image is normal at best up to about 25x. Beyond that, everything is noticeably blurry, but then again, good for $40 I think. The real problem with them, however, is the focus. When you turn the focus wheel, it moves both eyepieces in or out. The first thing I noticed was that the focus is not constant.

Pros
  • . The closest focusing distance is 32.8/10. Eye relief 14mmmat10X, 12mmmat30X
Cons
  • Updates

a legitimate pair of zoom binoculars.

I've had them for a couple of weeks now and am waiting that they aren't as flimsy and poorly made as other binoculars I bought last year (Celestron Cavalry 15x70 binoculars completely collapsed in a fall from a height of only a few meters onto a turf). These binoculars are nothing like them, they are very durable and feel like they are in your hand. The rubber coating is also top notch and gives the binoculars a real feel even if they are waterproof as advertised. Now I wouldn't soak them on…

Pros
  • Limited lift time guarantee
Cons
  • Fine
