The sleek and elegant Eschenbach Optik 4x18 Vision Compact Binoculars provides you a boost of magnification to bring the stage, playing field, or scenic view in for a closer look without being too large or cumbersome. Compact BK7 roof prisms and anti-reflection multicoatings improve light transmission to ensure views are bright and clear, with accurate colors and crisp contrast. An extraordinary close focus distance of just 20 inches allows you to make detailed observations of small birds & bugs or flora & fauna. A simple low-profile center focus wheel and right eye dioptric correction ensure tack-sharp images, and fold-down rubber eyecups make it comfortable to use them with or without eyeglasses or sunglasses. The Vision is compact and light enough to fit into most packs, purses, or pockets, but the included lanyard and case allow you to wear them around your neck or on your belt for ease of use and handling.

Eschenbach Optik Vision 4x18 Reviews
Hands-down best opera glasses
Having tried a LOT of opera glasses, these are hands-down the best I have found. Fantastic clarity and field of view (probably the most important spec, which many neglect), light and easy to focus. I bought a pair for my wife and liked them so much I bought another pair. I like them better than my own (pricier, heavier) pair.
nice for opera, nice for outdoors
Image quality is very good, true to color, despite the small 18mm lenses they are very good in low light. I used them as opera glasses and they are perfect due to their clarity and the wide field of view. Outdoors they are also nice to use due to the wide field of view. I didn't think the close focussing distance of about 20 inch is very useful but it turns out it's nice to look at flowers, butterflies, frogs and other shy wildlife. They are also super lightweight. That helps a lot for their use as Opera glasses. They seem to be sturdy though. The right diopter once adjusted seems to stay the same throughout the entire focussing distance. The lenses are recessed and well protected from accidental touching and scratches. The eye relief is good. The only drawbacks I can think of is that they might not be the most robust Bino's due to their lightweight construction and the overall look of the white plastic housing looks a bit cheap. A grey-ish finish like expensive DSLR lenses would have been better. The ocular rubber can be folded over to use them with glasses on. This is a bit cumbersome when you hand the binoculars back and forth to your partner who doesn't have glasses. A system like on my 8x20 Zeiss binoculars would have been better.
