Budget binoculars with decent optics
By D. Hentze
When you first take the Celestron UpClose binoculars out of the box, it is pretty clear they are not made by Carl Zeiss Optics. Then again, they cost around $30 not $1,100. The UpClose binoculars do pack some nice features, and perform fairly well though. The optical coatings used are fair at best, and you will see internal reflections under some conditions. On the plus side, they have a very nice, wide 430ft linear FOV, and 8.2degree angular FOV. At their low price, I can take these anywhere, and not worry about damaging or losing them. I give them 4 stars for budget binoculars. If you want better performance though, look elsewhere at more expensive models with better optical coatings.
