I own 9 pairs of binoculars. I bought these because of the low price and the name VIVITAR. They were known for quality lenses made for cameras. from Overstock.com i was glad to get such a bargain for this gift. i got it for my grandchildren to use on their field trips and to sports games. They keep telling me how grat they are. from Overstock.com I knew going into Walgreens that these were not going to be the best quality, so I don't feel to bad that I only spent $9.99 on them. Vivitar is not know for any great quality. They work fine for just general viewing during the day and evening. from Amazon.com Guaranteed to induce headaches. Then there's the mushy focusing, and the chromatic aberration on bright objects. Finally, the view is noticeably dimmer than in my 7x35s, which shouldn't happen with double the light-gathering area on the objective lenses (pi*35*35=3846 square mm; pi*50*50=7850 square mm). My guess is that the manufacturer should have passed on the "UV coating" and added some coatings to enhance light transmission, like you find on decent binoculars. from Amazon.com didn't know what bad binocs were, until I tried these. My 8x42 has a far wider view. This 7x50 is very difficult to use for me due to collimation issues. Color problems and very small views. from Amazon.com Purchased because of very low price and 7x50 spec. I didn't expect great quality at this price, but did expect them to be useable. from Amazon.com These look great from a distance but the eyepiece mechanism is poorly designed and held on with a single screw (that was loose on mine.) Once tightened they worked good enough but the eyepieces were not level so focus was off on one or other eye. They do have two big bright 50mm lenses to bring in lots of light for use at night. If you want something to last spend $30 on some better built 7 x 50's. from Amazon.com In my opinion, either the product is defective or is packaged poorly. Both times the binoculars exhibited double vision. I was surprised that a Vivitar product would perform so poorly. from Amazon.com This is an extremely cheaply made set of binoculars. from Overstock.com Don't expect top quality materials or construction. from Overstock.com
