Review: Why aren't these rated 4.9?? Crystal clear, bright optics, sturdy, well-made, great eye-relief - Not sure why these aren't rated higher. I had a phenom pair of Vortex 10x32 in hand and thought "At < $500 this is the best pair all around, but they only cost < $200. Vortex is KING!" Then I put these bad boys on my eyes and I was amazed: such a larger viewing angle; Bright, clear, color-true optics!! Eye relief was even better than the Vortex, which surprised me bc I felt that was the second biggest virtue of the Vortex binoculars. Comfortable on my eyes for a long period of time, and I simply stared at leaves, noting some of them had black marks I never noticed before; Also, some leaves had variant or gradient colors, which I did not notice on the Vortex (INITIALLY). Strangely, after seeing more clearly with the Zeiss I put back on the Vortez. I could see the same thing with the Vortex, but *only after I saw it on the Zeiss. The Zeiss are bright, clear, easy to use, comfortable, easy to adjust, fun-- and hear me-- the Vortex are the KILLER APP for < $350; however, they are NO LONGER the killer app for < $500. That crown now belongs to Zeiss!! You did it, Ms. Zeiss! You won the < $500 binocular sweepstakes 😊
Review: Perfect for bird watching ! - I have been attracted lately to the hobby of bird watching or birding as they call it. I was looking for a mid- level pair of binoculars as an upgrade to my cheap but surprisingly satisfying entry level Lululo binoculars, for which I made a product review a few days ago. When this pair came, I was not disappointed- the optics were to my liking- wide field of view , and crystal- clear; the size was perfect for my grip and quite light and portable ; and the price was appropriate for a brand touting to be of the Zeiss family. It came with a very beautiful protective hard case and over- the - top harness strap. This is a keeper and I would probably not replace it with the heavier, costlier ones I was initially tempted to buy. I will definitely recommend this as a mid level pair of binoculars that would easily fit your budget.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these binoculars come with the following accessories (rainguard, tethered objective lens covers, neck strap, case)?**
A: Hi Erica, yes all of this is included.

**Q: It is model 2017 ? Years made please ?**
A: I’m not sure of the year of manufacture of my specimen, but I think I purchased it in 2019, or 2018 at the earliest.

**Q: How many turns does the focus nob makes, and how much is the close focus? Thanks.**
A: I don’t know how many turns on the focus wheel, but it is not what I call “high geared”, that is, it focuses fairly slowly, which allows for greater precision in focusing. And as for close focus, it is one of the closest focusing binoculars I have ever owned, and I’ve owned a lot! Again, I am referring only to the 8x25 Terra.

**Q: How many gram net weight**
A: as the 8x Terras weigh just 26.3 ounces with rainguard and lens caps on (24.6 ounces without the covers). have to convert to grams
1oz = 28.3495 grams
