I wanted to upgrade my glass with something highly rated and a rational price point. These Cronus Binos bring everything to the table and more. They are highly rated by both the Rockslide forum and Backwoods Pursuit, and when you get them you can see why. I have Steiner Porro prisms and Brunton Eternas roof prisms and both of those have excellent glass too but the Cronus is equivalent to the Brunton Eterna's and just slightly below that of the Steiner's (maybe even the same). These binos seem very well built, the eyecups don't move and the price point is awesome. I don't think you can go wrong. I can't justify $1,000 plus for binocs but certainly, these will fit the bill for anyone that needs well made and tough binoculars with great glass for a reasonable price.
