Alaska trip
I don't have any other binoculars to compare this to, but they seemed to be a good fit for our trip to Alaska.

I have been looking for something like this for a long time
Are you frustrated not quite being able to make out minor constellations because the stars are just a little to faint or because the sky is too polluted? Binoculars with an actual field of view greater than 7 degrees are hard to find, and 7 degrees i...

Very Nice Binoculars
Tried them for the first time last night and was more than impressed. 3D works great but the thing that was surprising was the light gathering ability. Can see I will have hours of fun using these binoculars

This is a good product
This was a gift. I like the weight, clarity & close focus. I use it for wilderness watching. Haven't had them a long time to give more comments.

Binoculars for assisting finding targets with telescope
Well I got the binos a few days ago from Agena, the Zen-Ray ZRS. Very impressed with the accessories. The case is quite attractive and very nicely made, with interior pouch with included lens cloth. Straps for case and for binos, both very nice. The ...

Excellent
I have some pairs of binos, like Nikon Monarch 5, Zeiss Conquest and Vixen Foresta. This pair is the best. There is no CA. (just minimum at the edge, if you look for it) and the image is sharp from edge to edge. It's perfect, except for the distorti...

Every thing I hoped for in binoculars
These binoculars have extra clear detail when I use them for viewing birds and other wildlife. I like them for seeing detail on small lizards in my back yard. They are great quality and the contrast is stunning!

Awesome value
I had a set budget, these binos are three times better quality than anything else in a similar price range, crystal clear, and very simple to use.

Quality at an excellent price
This is rather good for a modest price, far better than cheaper monoculars but not priced in the Alpha class either. All metal, fairly heavy with good optics, smooth focusing. Minor complaints (and they are minor): case and wrist strap are a bit fli...

Outstanding Value
Compares well or exceeds far more expensive binos that I own or I have looked at. Very hard to find any fault with these. All adjustments were smooth, finish and fit was outstanding. Very minor points are the locking diopter still mentioned in the ma...

Satisfied
Bought these to use for astronomy and general use. I am not a glass expert but I am becoming more aware of what a difference quality glass can make. I am very happy with these. I got great quality without spending a fortune.

Zen Ray Vista review
The only reason I did not give them a 5 star is the case which is a simple nylon bag, but for the money these are excellent binocular, just keep an eye out for a better case. They are a bit heavy but very well built and armored. I tested that out whe...

The Zen-Ray ZRS is a great binocular
I have used the binoculars to view fall foilage, bird watching, star gazing and wildlife. The clarity and true colors are excellent. The close focus and the depth of field are great.
