The Meade 8x42 Master Class Pro ED Binoculars are the best binoculars I’ve ever looked through at this price! They approach my Swarovski 8.5x42 ELs, are as good as my Zeiss 8x42 Conquest HDs and are better than my Leica 8x42 Trinovid HDs. They are tack sharp across the entire field, bright and clear with a tremendous 8 degree FOV! What a panorama! These Meade 8x42 Master Class Pro ED Binoculars are an absolute steal at this price! These are easily my 4th pair of Alphas because they PERFORM like my aforementioned Alpha binoculars! If you want European quality and don’t wanna break the bank, these are YOUR binoculars! I am so glad I made this purchase! These binoculars PERFORM!!
