3 out of 5 stars You can fix the double vision if you get one like that.   January 4, 2009
I saw both good and bad reviews before I bought them and thought I just take a chance and hope that I get a good pair that did not have the double vision. At the price it was selling for ($29) it was worth the chance, anyway all I wanted was something to throw in the back of my truck. Well I was unlucky and received a pair with very bad double vision. But there is good news. There are two set screws that you can adjust the collimation to align the double vision. For these binoculars there was one set screw on each side of the binocular body - it at the top, just under the rubber (some binoculars have two on each side of the body, this only has one). Here is a link to more info on doing the procedure www.oberwerk.com/support/collimate.htm. There is a picture there and although it is not the same binocular, the Barska Binocular set screw is located in the same place as in the picture. If the link does not work search on the internet for "Collimating binoculars". (There are some other sites that recommend you to do the alignment at night, I found it easiest doing it looking at the moon.) I was able to align the binocular that I received that had very bad double vision. For the price I'm satisfied.

Inexpensive. Remember the song "Double Vision"? You may be singing it when you try zooming on a distant object. At this price level you might get lucky and get a good pair. I wasn't lucky. They only give a clear, single view at the lowest zoom. Take a chance if you want, but save the receipt.

These are awesome. Never had a nicer pair of binoculars. Thought the price was to good to be true, but I was wrong. Buy them if you can afford it. You will get your moneys worth.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent value for the $$$   August 27, 2008

I recently received my Barska binoculars. Some of the reviews here have been somewhat negative, but I must say I have no complaints. The binoculars are properly aligned and the view quality is at least as good as I would expect at this price point. It's quite good, really. The focusing mechanism works smoothly, and if I had to find something to complain about, I might say that it is a little too easy to move. ---If you press against the eyecups slightly, the focus will change, but this happens with lots of binoculars I have used. It's a very minor point.

The zoom works well, tho' you'll want to get a tripod & adapter for anything over 15x - 20x as it's difficult to remain steady enough for comfortable viewing at higher magnification. Zooming will require re-focusing. This doesn't bother me, not for $42.00. If I'd spent $400, it'd be another story. Brightness is down a bit at maximum power, but again that is normal and to be expected as the effective aperture is reduced as you zoom in.

I give them 4 out of 5 stars just on the product itself. When also considering the low price, it's 5 stars.



4 out of 5 stars Good value binocular   May 13, 2008

I bought these on a whim in a closeout store about 6 months ago. I checked them quickly at the store to see if the optics were okay and aligned properly for focusing over the range of the zoom. When I got them home I checked them for daytime distance viewing from our back deck. The optics were better than I expected and the focus was good through about 25x. The controls aren't as silky smooth as high-end binoculars, but not bad for $29. My biggest complaint is that there's no tripod mounting provision, which would be quite welcome. They're not real heavy, so using them strictly as hand-held is not too bad. If you are considering, I would recommend trying them in a store to make sure that you don't have a collimation problem as experienced by another reviewer.
