Review: Why aren't these rated 4.9?? Crystal clear, bright optics, sturdy, well-made, great eye-relief - Not sure why these aren't rated higher. I had a phenom pair of Vortex 10x32 in hand and thought "At < $500 this is the best pair all around, but they only cost < $200. Vortex is KING!" Then I put these bad boys on my eyes and I was amazed: such a larger viewing angle; Bright, clear, color-true optics!! Eye relief was even better than the Vortex, which surprised me bc I felt that was the second biggest virtue of the Vortex binoculars. Comfortable on my eyes for a long period of time, and I simply stared at leaves, noting some of them had black marks I never noticed before; Also, some leaves had variant or gradient colors, which I did not notice on the Vortex (INITIALLY). Strangely, after seeing more clearly with the Zeiss I put back on the Vortez. I could see the same thing with the Vortex, but *only after I saw it on the Zeiss. The Zeiss are bright, clear, easy to use, comfortable, easy to adjust, fun-- and hear me-- the Vortex are the KILLER APP for < $350; however, they are NO LONGER the killer app for < $500. That crown now belongs to Zeiss!! You did it, Ms. Zeiss! You won the < $500 binocular sweepstakes 😊
Review: Great glass! - Great glass. Wanted something other than my Vortex Talons for around the farm. Very clear and fit all my hunting and viewing needs. Highly recommended for the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these binoculars come with the following accessories (rainguard, tethered objective lens covers, neck strap, case)?**
A: Hi Erica, yes all of this is included.

**Q: It is model 2017 ? Years made please ?**
A: I’m not sure of the year of manufacture of my specimen, but I think I purchased it in 2019, or 2018 at the earliest.

**Q: How many turns does the focus nob makes, and how much is the close focus? Thanks.**
A: I don’t know how many turns on the focus wheel, but it is not what I call “high geared”, that is, it focuses fairly slowly, which allows for greater precision in focusing. And as for close focus, it is one of the closest focusing binoculars I have ever owned, and I’ve owned a lot! Again, I am referring only to the 8x25 Terra.

**Q: How many gram net weight**
A: as the 8x Terras weigh just 26.3 ounces with rainguard and lens caps on (24.6 ounces without the covers). have to convert to grams
1oz = 28.3495 grams

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Glass for a Great Price
*by D***D on May 2, 2026*

As an amateur bird photographer who takes about 2,000 photos each month, I have been wanting some binoculars to be able to see things better. (This is because I don’t wear my glasses when I take photos due to the optical view finder.) For photography, I have a set of rather expensive super telephoto lenses. And I admit this review is being written in the early days of owning these binoculars, but I am absolutely blown away by these. The separation in terms of depth of field is nothing short of magnificent. I realize there is no shortage of people who are unhappy with Zeiss for making binoculars in China. Do not listen to them. I have already sunk a good bit of money on my camera lenses, so I was not looking to spend $1,000 or more on binoculars. For me, the price point is perfect, and the quality is stellar. I just spent three hours at the local wildlife refuge, and I feel like a kid again. For someone in his mid 60s, that’s pure joy. I’m sure there are several other comparable options in the world of sub-$500 binoculars, so I can only comment on these. But I love them.
