Well-made binoculars with great attention to detail
“The product comes in a typical K&F orange box.
Inside we find the shoulder bag in which the binoculars are located in a plastic bag. The transport bag is very comfortable, but unfortunately does not offer sufficient protection against impacts because it is very thin. However, it is lined with soft materials on the inside to prevent the lenses from being scratched if they are used unprotected. In the bag we find a cleaning cloth, straps to carry the binoculars around the neck and finally, in addition to the instructions, we have a 90° angle that allows us to mount the binoculars on a tripod for a more stable view.

Binoculars are made in the traditional way. On the back we have a unique lens cover with hooks to attach it to the shoulder strap. The exterior of the binoculars is made of high quality, environmentally friendly rubber that does not absorb odors. Thanks to the surface treatment, it is non-slip and sweat-wicking. The grip when you hold it in your hand is firm thanks to the material and texture.

There are rubber lens hoods in the eyepieces, which can be removed by turning them at the point where the eyes rest. For people with eye problems, the right lens also has a diopter adjustment. On the front, the lenses are protected by individual caps, which, once removed, remain stuck just before the end of the binoculars thanks to a round plastic part.

On the sides of the scope we find hooks that allow you to insert the straps included in the package. As already mentioned, the eyepiece caps can be inserted into the straps. In the upper part we find the lettering with the brand K&F CONCEPT. If we move closer to the eyepieces, we find the button that allows you to adjust the focus of both eyepieces. On the opposite side of this knob is a screw that, when turned, allows you to activate the angled tripod mount. The screw already in the holder can be tightened further using a slotted groove.

With 10x42 binoculars, the binoculars are very bright and allow you to see objects at a fixed distance of about 3 meters, which can be focused thanks to the central element. The optical elements are very good, given the price I would have expected slightly lower quality. However, K&F produces excellent products in the photographic sector, such as filters for mirrorless systems.

I didn't mention the IP66 certification. The first 6 means maximum protection against dust and fine particles that could penetrate the optical elements. The second 6 refers to protection against water, which is not complete, but in the event of a strong jet of water from any direction, the binoculars would be protected with a very low probability of water entering the interior.

The focusing accuracy is almost millimeters, but what I didn't like is that the chromatic aberration (the "purple edges") is more accentuated in certain contexts. However, this does not mean that there will be vision problems when using it. Given the cost, it's possible that they had to save money in some aspects, but that doesn't mean it's still a great product that I recommend ✅"
