Super sharp view as you would expect from Minolta. Perfect for backyard birdwatching as these focus very close. Great for watching birds on the wing too, wildlife or sporting events. These offer a wide 578 feet at 1000 yards view and seven times magnification. Great for hand holding with a steady view. Bright and clear lenses with no problems. I’ve never dropped them or banged them around. The view is excellent. Nice neck strap makes them comfortable to take long walks with. Come over and check them out. I think they’ll suit you : )
