These are medium binoculars.

These binoculars are very average. I have several really good binoculars and wanted to leave another pair in another car. I've strayed from what I'm used to from this pair so can't say I'm disappointed. At Leupold you get free customer service. When you buy a pair, you don't have to worry about breakage or damage as Leupold will repair or replace them. Remember you get what you pay for. So if you're looking for crystal clear resolution and detail, pay more for a better pair. Again, these are…

Pros
  • Rotating eyecups and long eye relief for comfortable long-term viewing
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

EXACTLY WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM LEUPOLD BABY!

Fantastic pair of 12x50 binoculars. As soon as I got them I had my old Bushnell (12x42) side by side and the difference in the amount of daylight visible is amazing. shines very well in normal and low light conditions. My only disappointment is that the right eye focus dial is VERY difficult to adjust, especially during use. This is most likely a production issue, but not a deal breaker at all. Because it's so difficult to rotate, it stays in place once you've adjusted it for your individual…

Pros
  • Twilight Control System adds up to 10 extra minutes of glazing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Please read before purchasing.

The fact that this product has 5 stars makes me cry. I'm not sure if the reviewers have never tried a decent scope before or if they are in love with the Leupold name, but this product is complete rubbish. I compared it to the Bushnell Legend Ms 10x42 and they blew it out of the water for a few bucks more. I brought these binoculars to my eyes and the game was called Holy Molybdenum chromatic aberration, I saw so many different colors in the picture it felt like I was looking at a rainbow…

Pros
  • Open bridge, roof prism design - very light and ergonomic
Cons
  • Some small things
