KenkoOpera Glass Pliant 3x25 Slim Silver

yes they may not be made out of metal - ike the originals from 1960s + 70s - but they still look the part & being made out of plastic are much light - they work well with wheel to focus - we go to the theatre a lot - especially up in the gods sections & as our eyesight aint what it used to be - we need these

Ok quality. A bit flimsy but does the job and is light weight. Took a little time to arrive.

I had something very similar for many years, and it travelled very far with me, so useful and easy to have about one's person. I was, therefore, delighted to find this version. It does exactly what I currently need, with a sharper image than considerably more expensive binoculars. The fact that these binocs are so lightweight is both a plus and a minus - yes, much easier for someone with arthritic and muscular problems to pick up, but on the other hand more vulnerable, hence one star off. My previous version was metal and did last decades but I suspect this won't. I am buying another one to set aside, so that is how pleased I am with the performance! For theatre and opera, sight-seeing, reading the small print on the T.V. (not everyone has a screen covering half the wall) this modest little gem will do nicely.
