Swarovski 10x25 B Pocket Binocular (Black) USA

Comments about Swarovski 10x25 B Pocket Binocular (Black):

Super compact, fit into my breast pocket, gives fantastic view, lets a lot of light through the lenses. Used them to view primates (chimps, monkeys) in Rwanda this month, and appreciated the ease of use and fast-focus when trekking through jungle bush. I wear glasses and the pre-set tuning adjustment for eyes needing different correction is a real plus. Didn't need accessories and didn't miss the lack of lens covers. These binocs are worth the extra money, just don't lose them!

There are a number of quality 10x25 compact binoculars on the market. At 60 years old, my eyesight is not as good as it used to be and the image "brightness" has become extremely important aspect. Which is better, a clunky 10x42 that are back in the car, or compact 10x25's that's in your pocket? Obviously there is a compromise between the smaller / lighter compact and the heavier more light- gathering larger sized binoculars.

After considerable online research, the brands Swarovski, Zeiss and Leica were consistently at the top of the review lists, although the ranking varied. I found a store that carried all three and tried them all side by side inside and outside; in bright sun light and at low light dusk.

For my eyes, the Swarovski's had the best image clarity and brightness of the three brands. They are easy to use, light and compact. In fact they can fold down to fit in a shirt pocket. The eye relief is perfect with or without glasses. Focusing is done with either your 4th or 5th finger, at the end of the binocular furthest from you. While unique, it is very easy to use.

In summary, the Swarovski 10x25 pocket binocular is a tiny, watertight and fog proof binocular worthy of the Swarovski name.
