Orion 10x50 WorldView Waterproof Binoculars
Reviewer: Andrew Senske
These WorldView 10x50 are excellent
binoculars, and they're enjoyable both in
the day and at night. The difference
between these and a couple of 7x35s I
also own is really significant. For
example, I can see M81 with the 10x50s
but not with the 7x35s. Eye relief is
great. The included strap is decent with
a padded portion for your neck. The
case is also decent but it would be nice if
it were padded.
The only real problem I've noticed with
these is the fold-down eye-cups. When
you fold them down the caps no longer
fit, so you'll have to fold them back up
every time you use them if you want to
be able to replace the eyepiece caps
when you're finished. Judging from the
looks of the eyecups after just one fold I
don't think I'll be folding them for each
use. It appears that the rubber eyecups
won't last long if you fold them too
much. A simple solution would be to
include eyepiece caps that are big
enough to cover the eyepieces when the
eyecups are folded down. A better, more
pliable rubber material might be a good
solution also.
Other than the eyepiece cups and caps
issue, these binocs are really good.
Considering they're fully multi-coated
and waterproof, they're a great deal. I
ordered a second set for my dad who
was astounded when he looked through
them.

Reviewer: Tony D. Martin
I think the 10x50 worldview is the best
value for the money. It has a tight focus
that does not slip. The optical system is
superior to the other brands, (in this
price range).

Reviewer: Melvin Pritchard
I bought the World View binoculars
recently. They give clarity and crispness
to anything you focus on with them. I
looked at the first quarter moon with
them and was stunned by the view.

Reviewer: Maqurice Plummer
On receiving my binoculars I was
impressed at the quality workmanship
but even more so the clarity.
I haven't had a chance to use them for
my main objective, which is stargazing,
because we've got 2 ft. of snow on the
ground. Yet, I have used them for
general viewing and I very pleased with
them compared to my other two pair of
cheaper binoculars. I won't be using the
old ones much anymore!

Reviewer: Valente M. Alegria
The 10 x 50 Worldview Bonoculars were a
Christmas present for my son. They were
delivered on time. The price was fair,
and allowed me to give him a present
that he has been enjoying on a daily basis.
Thank You.
