Celestron Upclose G2 16x32 Kikare

I've decided to post a new review. Comparing these x16 to x8 I could definitely see a difference in zoom. The x8 didnt do much zooming in. I had both binoculars focused on an unmoving subject. The x16 gave better results. However, real far away subjects were harder to hand hold on. Thus, for the price, these 16x32 cant be beat.

16x for such a low price is a good value. However, after using them for a few months I find them harder to focus than my smaller and lighter 8x. The 2x zoom on the 8x doesnt do much. I'd rather get the 10-30x for double the price, or the smaller 8x for easy pocket fit.

Back up optics to my bulkier optics, easy to access and carry around the farm when viewing is not the primary chore... That's when something always pops into view!

Very satisfied with my new Up Close binoculars. They can see very far.

Im not an expert in binoculars, but it works for me as a starter. The build quality is not perfect, but viewing is good for me.
