Great image quality and stabilization, bad eye cups
Overall an excellent binocular. I have a hard time hand holding a binocular with more than 12x zoom, so the IS on this product is key to get a portable product that still has a good amount of magnification. The eyecups are hard to use and you have to jam them onto your face to get a good field of view or fold back the eyecups. I wish they had the standard twist outs that every other manufacterer seems to have that provides light control and is comfortable as well. That being said image quality is excellent and it’s still well worth the purchase. Interestingly, these are my first set of 18x binonulars. Field of view is tight and my vision is excellent so I find that the improved field of view of some nice 12x binoculars like the excellent Swarovski 12×42 NL Pure is preferrable and more immersive. But when 18x is what you need this is a great pair.Update: after several months of ownership i continue to love the optics and performance of these binoculars though truly hate the eyecups. Itâs uncomfortable to jam your face into them for an immersive view or else you fold back the cups and have lots of light spilling in. I finally solved the problem by folding the middle of the eyecups in which allows light to be blocked from the sides and a great view but no pain on the nasal bridge. This kept flipping back up but i liked the solution enough that I used rubber Sugru putty to mold the eyecups into a good ergonomic position flipped down in the middle (used rubber band to hold in position while glue set overnight). Itâs a little ugly but now binoculars are prefect and comfortable.

You get what you pay for
While these are heavy and not practical for all applications, they work extremely well when weight is not an issue. I use them when hunting in east North Carolina in large areas of soybean, cotton and peanut fields that can be as long as half-a-mile. On managed land such as this, it is easy to pick up and identify deer when antler size minimums can be an issue. The stabilization of the image is truly amazing with no lag in viewing and no negative impact on image quality. Take these to your MLB or NFL game of choice and you can all but count the stitches on the ball. Battery life is reasonable and the unit conserves power by shutting down after a couple of minutes if you forget to hit the button manually. The big lenses can be protected with standard screw on UV filters you can get anywhere. Without the image stabilization I would have never considered 18 power binoculars because they are impossible to hold still without a tripod. I tried them at a photo/video show and was immediately sold on this technology.These units, while expensive, have been worth every dime and offer up detailed viewing that is simply unavailable on other binoculars…and they are essentially weatherproof, an added bonus.

awesome binoculars, these 18x50mm binocularâs are a very powerful tool for astronomy,.
i had too cut eye cups flush and add eye guards from telescope eyepieces , guess my eyes are close together ipd, also got the 58mm uv filters, also got the 58mm lens covers, both work together or u can use one or the other, i got the generic canon 58mm lens covers for 5 bucks, yes they should come wth binoculars!! but works perfectly, no complaints so far !! at first i had trouble finding the winged eye guards, but lucky that i found a link to âAlpine astronomical â and they stock the size needed to fit over eyepiece perfectly. if you just cut eye cup flush with eyepiece, the size is 40.5mm…,,,, update, first light, i saw, m101,m51,m81,m82,m92,m13,m3,, all easy for these canon 18×50 bins, i was surprised at the size of these objects, also got a peek at jupiter, could easily see it as a perfect disk ! and the moons of course, just incredible !,, clear skies! , updated 5/25/2019,,, updated 6/7,19,, got a really great sky and picked up m97,m108,and m109,seen not glimpsed seen! 10th magnitude!!! just for reference i had the pleasure too own a 8 inch cass, 7 inch mak, and miyachi 100mm binoculars, not rich just lucky,all sold and gone, life got in the way and i could no longer get out under the starâs, after 15 years iâm able too again, i didnât want a big telescope again, but wanted too see my old friends again!! , after a lot of reading â astronomy came a long way!â and my best bet was the canon is,binoculars, yes for advanced users for sure, but these things are just awesome, and so same for the 12×36 is iii,. clear skies!!, also can be a powerful tool with 0-||| or other dso filters , iâve seen m8 m17 m16 easily without these filters, but the pop u get with these fiterâs is very good, and noticeably better than without them, u can use a step up ring for the 2 inch deep sky filters, think 48mm too 58mm camera adaptation rings. as a last note, these 18x50mm binoculars are a globular cluster fanatics dream !! iâm one of em lol.,, was able too glimpse m109 🙂 hard one though!!

Wow! Pricey but worth it!
Wow, wow, wow! These are expensive as binoculars go. But in my book the technology is totally worth the price! We got the binoculars for our boat. We typically sail well off shore, and were looking for binoculars to clarify objects 1/2 mile to 2 miles out. I believe these will work. The test I ran on these was to focus in on a tree 100 feet away, without image stabilization, you see a lot of green leaves. With the image stabalizer, you see the individual structure of each leaf, even the viens on the underside are readily apparent! I am truly impressed!PRO:- Image stabilization REALLY works!- Image clarity is far beyond anything I have ever seen- Easy to Focus- Flexible eye cups are form fitting, blocking out most light- The Width between each eye peice is easily adjustedCons- These are bigger than normal binoculars, fairly heavy, but this is ok by me

My new canon 18x50mm with âisâ is wonderful. Even though it is heavy it is worth it. You do not have to carry with you a tripod just look ,push the button and enjoy. I live in a high-rise apartment and I can see easily man working on a new project 3 miles away. I can read license plates a mile away. The lens are superb, and the focussing mechanism is very smooth.

I found the optical quality to be excellent, and IS seems to work nicely. I didn’t find them that heavy.

I’d give five stars if they were more user friendly/comfy. They handle like a truck.

Ce sont des jumelles très dispendieuse et aussi un peu long mais la qualité est au rendez-

Due to the great features it is understandably a bit heavy. They will be very good to see all the amazing wildlife we have on the west coast and make it easier to observe the UFO activity over the mountain.
