I'd been using a cheap pair of binoculars to go bird watching so I thought I'd treat myself to a decent pair. I did my research and plumped for the Viking ED FF as they seemed to tick all the boxes in my price range. The difference re the clarity of image compared to my old pair is breathtaking. The myriad subtle colours in bird plumage become crystal clear and the wide field of view means that following birds in flight is easy. They are much heavier than my previous binoculars, reassuringly so in my opinion, and the whole build quality is superb.

This Chinese made binocular is heavy but with a good feeling of solidity. The view is very good for the price, sharp and bright with field flattening lenses that give a crisp image to almost the edge of the wide 8 degree view, but the downside of this is that is suffers from some "rolling ball" effect when you pan left to right or up and down. The view itself is very relaxing due to the wide field of view and there is plenty of eye relief for people who wear glasses. The focussing was smooth and even. The dioptre had to be set quite far off centre for my eyes, which is not an indication of quality, as it is usally set for zero on quality binoculars, although this did not affect the view. The left exit pupil was also truncated, although the right one was almost a perfect circle. Despite these small defects, I was going to keep these bins until I realised that there was a piece of plastic rattling around inside them quite noticeably, so they were returned. It's a shame, because they are good bins for the money if you get a good pair.Read full review
