"I just wanted to drop a note and tell you how happy my wife and I are with the quality - both optically and mechanically - of this great product. My reason for the purchase was for astro-viewing as a supplement to our telescopes (we've been using other brand binos for a long time), but since using them, we've found that they are our "first grab" for birding as well. The evening that they arrived, I stepped out on our back porch just as it got dark and took in a wonderful view of Jupiter and the 4 big moons. I called my wife our for a look and she was completely blown away! Neither of us expected such great performance for an relatively inexpensive pair of binos, especially at 20X. Color correction is excellent right out to the edge of the field, something I never expected form a relatively low cost pair of binoculars. We spent a great deal of time outside that night taking in the sights (we also had a telescope set up, though it didn't get much use that evening). I was especially impressed at how well the binos were able to pull in the light from M31 in our light polluted sky. One of our favorite viewing targets, M45, is especially impressive through this wonderful instrument. " - Bob F. (20x80LW)
"I recently attended NEAF for the first time and was extremely pleased to find out that I had won a pair of 10x50 Ultra binoculars that your company had donated as a raffle prize. I have four other pairs of binoculars and none have provided me with the visual experience that your binoculars have provided. The clarity of the optics, the sharpness of the images and the bright, wide and flat fields are amazing! I just wanted you to know that they have quickly become my favorite binoculars and I thank you for providing such a wonderful raffle prize. I hope to get many years of viewing pleasure with them. Thanks!" - Jim M.
"I'm VERY pleased with everything you sent me. This package is BY FAR the absolute best value in large optics. I'm a beginner and typically always overshop for quality that I never really needed. In the case of the BT-100-45's, neither quality, nor your hard earned dollar is sacrificed. I feel like I got much more that I didn't even pay for. I would strongly, STRONGLY encourage anyone considering even the 25x100IF's to go ahead and purchase the item that you will ultimately end up with and that is the BT-45 series. It will save you money and you will have had the viewing pleasure." - Terry S., Jackson, FL
"I received my black pebble grain Oberwerk 25/40x100M long range observation binoculars yesterday. AWESOME! The entire field of observation is perfectly clear, the optics are superior, and the ease of operation is outstanding. The tripod is a beautifully crafted and well constructed piece of furniture." - George Z., Albuquerque, AZ
"Used my new 22x100's last night for the first time, and was very impressed! Very sharp optics. Blew my Orion 20x80 Megaview's away in every aspect. Much more fun than my Tak FS 102." - Brian G., Oak Creek, CO (22x100mm)
"I would like to thank you for living up to your excellent reputation as the astronomy newsgroups indicate. My binoculars (15X60) are not only an outstanding value on their own, but your extra customer care makes you Number One to me and apparently many other people. If and when I purchase more binocs they will be from you.
" - Stephen R., Baltimore, MD (15x60mm)
"From my living room, I can count the light bulbs on the
Verrazano Narrows Bridge in New York City- about 45 miles away" - Jeff C., Flemington, NJ (25/40x100mm)
"The 20X80 deluxe has arrived, apparently, in good state (huge binocular!!). Last night I had the occasion of proving it for the first time and the truth is that I am impressed with its optic quality. I was seeing some typical objects, as M57 in Lyra, M13 globular cluster and M27 dumbbel nebula, and in all the cases, the view was spectacular. I am wanting to make a comparison with the Celestron 20X80 of a friend, although I am almost sure that the Oberwerk will be the winner." - Julian H., Madrid, Spain
"I wanted to tell you that the 15x70s we just received are fabulous. With the 5 naked eye planets in view we had no shortage of easy targets. The 70s allowed us to see the outline of Saturn's rings and 4 of Jupiter's moons. My wife (who thinks these were her Mother's day gift) was jumping up and down she was so excited. Thanks for such a great product." - Jerry L., St. Louis, MO
"The 20x80 deluxe binos' I must say are quite fabulous. Eye
relief is great, field of view huge, and the edge performance is really
impressive. Mechanically they seem indestructable. M-51 showed two bright knots, and M-13 was big and very well resolved. These are great astronomy binoculars. They should hold me over quite well until I can get the BT 100s'." - Ron V., Layton, UT
"I just got my 12x60's yesterday and even tho the sky was pretty poor last
night, all I can say is WOW! These binoculars are fantastic. " - Dave S., West Boylston, MA
"I finally got the new 25/40x100's out to a dark sky site. They perform really well. The best view was omega centauri as it cleared the hills to the south." - William C., La Mesa, CA
"I got the pair of 20x80s and have done some initial tests. I posted the results up on my site- Trophy Club Astronomical Society" - Julian O., Trophy Club, TX
"Just wanted to let you know that we love the
8x56's - they are of much better quality than we expected for the price. Would
definitely buy another Oberwerk product." - Joe W., Millersville, MD
"The binocs are INCREDIBLE. I can see customers
going into my friend's restaurant, on the end of the Santa Cruz wharf, some
3.5 miles away. In fact, the resolution is so good . . . I could tell if he
was raising his hand or not on the end of the wharf!!
" - Jeremy L., Santa Cruz, CA (25/40x100mm Astronomy model)
"Tonight I had a chance to do a side by side comparison with a pair of Fuji 10x70FMT-SX, and to my surprise, and the owner of the Fuji's, the Oberwerk 11x70 held their own and then some...We both agreed that the performance per dollar was incredible...I absolutely recommend these to anyone that needs long eye relief." - Ron D. Sheboygan, WI (11x70mm)
"Got 'em yesterday! Thanks for sending in such great condition. I darn near almost fell into the sky last night. Incredible!!" - Terri H., Atlanta, GA (15x70mm)
"Just wanted to drop a note concerning how pleased I am with the performance of my recently purchased Oberwerk 25/40 x 100 military binoculars. I live on a hill in San Pedro (Los Angeles), CA overlooking Catalina Island and use them for for daytime
terrestrial viewing of fishing boats, freighters, etc. passing by in the channel.
We had been using a set of 15 x 80 units, however, there is no comparison! It's quite a kick being able to see the people on fishing boats bait their hooks! Thanks
again for the fine support and great product.
" - Richard W., San Pedro, CA
"I shocked many viewers this weekend with the 9x60's, clarity vs. price. Only the $700 and up Nikons or Swarovskis were close." - Darrell P., Hamilton, OH (9x60mm)
"Received the 10-30x60 zooms on Monday, and could not be more pleased with my purchase. These glasses are well-constructed and provide a clear, bright, crisp image. The difference between these and the "ruby-coated zooms" I had purchased elsewhere (and returned) is like night and day. The others were junk. These are quality binoculars for only a few dollars more. Thanks." - Gary G., Marrero, LA (10-30x60mm)
"I've never seen such good optics for the money. My 11x56W's are nearly
as good, if not as good, as my $700 Fujinons were, at 1/7 the price. The
eye relief and clarity are just fantastic, this binocular simply blows
away all the "other" $100-range binocs. I bought a Minolta Classic II
10x50W to tide me over and I think today I'll give it to the Salvation
Army" - Robert H., Northridge, CA (11x56mm)
"The binoculars are just awesome. My wife and I went out last night in our light polluted town and actually saw M10 and M12. We are really looking forward to taking them camping with us this weekend. Will probably have to sleep during the day, with so many
Messiers to see." - Kipp C., SLC, UT (15x70mm)
"I 'wasted' a few hours this evening enjoying the 100mm bino. We had 4 cruise boats go by. Totally easy targets for your bino @ about 7 miles. PEOPLE visible on deck; easy to read the ship's name." - Wayne H., Sechelt, BC (25/40x100mm)
"Last night I *finally* got some reasonably clear skies after a week of overcast (which started the very DAY I received the Unimount), and was able to set up my 25/40x100 binocs on the Unimount. The combination is awesome! I spent several hours just panning around the whole sky, then I attached the red dot finder for the first time and did some Messier hunting. The M81/82 pair looked better in the binocs than in my 8" Dob. Can't wait to show off my new toys at the next star party." - Robert E., Prather, CA (25/40x100mm)
"The field glasses are amazing." - Paul D., Sierra Madre, CA (25/40x100mm)
"Received my 15X70 Oberwerks yesterday and the view looks better than from my Pronto...The Oberwerks look brighter, wider field of view - so much easier to use and, I think, a richer scope to use...I am very pleased with these. The value for the dollar is just tremendous.
" - Ron B., Phoenix, AZ
"My wife and I are very happy with the 25/40x100mm Observation binoculars! We
can clearly see 20 miles across the San Francisco Bay which includes the air
traffic at three different airports. My wife also said this was definitely
the most interesting viewing instrument I have ever purchased! We are now
planning to take up sky-watching. Thanks for your prompt and courteous
service." - Takeshi M., Hayward, CA
"They just arrived, Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! What great service!!!
" - Bob S., Blue Point, NY (25/40x100mm)
"Last night during Superbowl half-time, my son and I used the 15x70's for the
first time. The views were so fantastic we never saw the second half of the
game! I think my son will be using the binoculars more than his telescope.
" - Mark W., Sharon, MA
"I'm thrilled with the 2 binoculars from you - now if the weather would just
cooperate....BTW my wife is happy eye relief is not a problem!" - Eric A., Brandford, CT (11x56mm & 15x70mm)
"I received the Oberwerk 15X70's yesterday and was very impressed. Excellent quality and value. All of the reviews I read were right on the mark." - Don N., Westminster, MD
"Thank you for sending the Oberwerk 15x70 binocular, received two days ago. It was worth waiting for. The light grasp is fantastic - far better than my (quality) 50's and seemingly on a par with some 80's I have tried. This must be due to the multi-coatings used. Detail on the moon was fantastic, and I had a most satisfying view of the Pleiades. Can't wait to search for galaxies in the Virgo cluster this Spring. All in all, very nice optics, fit, and finish, at a price that's got to be one of the best values going right now. (Incidentally, I rate them higher than Celestron 80's which I have used, which cost far more.)" - Norman S., Beach Lake, PA
"Please add one more satisfied customer to your list. The 11X56 binocs are terrific for casual observing with my glasses on. Jupiter's moons, Saturn's peculiar outline, and the colors of various stars are sharp and clear even in the middle of town. Large clusters like the Plieades are just breathtaking. Keep up the good work providing high quality, low cost
optics!" - Dan C., Ft. Worth, TX
"Got the binocs over the weekend and they look great. Good construction,
plenty of eye relief and focus travel...I even got to try them out last night
and despite a first quarter moon they did very well. Sharpness was good. You
were right, I won't be sending them back!" - Joe D., Chicago, IL (15x70mm)
"...my wife noticed a bird landing on a pole perhaps 3/4 mile away. Moving to it, we had a beautiful view of an immature redtail hawk. At 40x, we could see the yellow in the eyes and the pupils were clearly defined. This first view was the best my birdwatching wife has ever had of a redtail. So right out of the box, the big binoculars performed at their peak. Thanks a lot for delivering great optics." - Maxwell S., Los Alamos, NM (25/40x100mm)
"Since I got such a great deal, if I find a new planet with the binoculars I will name it Oberwerk." - Rueben T., Prospect, KY
"...these are terrific binoculars, just wonderful Kevin. I feel like ordering another
pair just because!!!" - Richard M., San Francisco, CA (25/40x100mm)
"I must say that I am very impressed by them, especially considering the low cost. I had no idea that 9X60mm binoculars would CLEARLY show the moons of Jupiter--even within the big-city lights of Los Angeles." - Johnnie H., Los Angeles, CA
"The Oberwerk 15x70's are simply awesome! They are incredibly sharp across the field of view -- none of the "center-clear-only" that I've experienced with other high powered binoculars -- and very easy to focus and use. " - Mark H., Eureka, CA
"I am very, very impressed. And what a nice looking tripod. It is kind of
refreshing to see something different. " - Eino S., Hamden, CT (25/40x100mm)
"The Oberwerk 8x60's completely blow away my 10x50 Nikons in every respect: brightness, image quality, eye relief and ease of focus. They are not only a great bargain, they are great
binoculars." - Mark H., Eureka, CA
"My binoculars just arrived today (quick delivery). The 11x56 I ordered are excellent pair of optics, they work beatifully. I tried all types at stores and looked in catalogs for months on end. The ones that I liked in the stores were $400 ~ $900, the ones I got today compare to the top brands in the market today." - Jim O., Addison, IL
"Binoculars arrived yesterday and I absolutely love them."
- Steve P., Hamilton, OH (15x60mm)
"...I am personally delighted with your service...many thanks from an extremely satisfied customer."
- Grant R., Wellington, New Zealand (25/40x100mm)
"My order showed up today at work. Thanks! The guys were seriously impressed
and no one believed the price."
- Bob C., Smyrna, GA. (15x70mm)
"Just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the binoculars I bought from you at Apollo R. last Saturday...I enjoyed meeting and working with you and your son."
- Richard W., Milford, OH. (25/40x100mm)
"I received the binoculars and they are awesome."
- Greg K., Eugene, OR. (25/40x100mm)
"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said "big binoculars. My astronomy club will really enjoy them!"
- Rick F., Archdale, NC. (25/40x100mm)
"You have another very happy customer out here in California. You were right
about these binoculars being worth the wait."
- Ralph S., Petaluma, CA. (25/40x100mm)
"I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have found your web site and these binoculars!"
- Michael W., Overland Park, KS. (25/40x100mm)
"I am very happy with these binocs, and I thank you for offering them to me."
- Tom L., Novata, CA. (25/40x100mm)
I got the binoculars and they are grand!
- Lorne B., Stockton, CA. (25/40x100mm)
Thx...love the binos. - Jack W., Bedford Corners, NY (25/40x100mm)
Thanks again, It is really nice dealing with a company that is so
responsive!! And some people think that ecommerce is too impersonal :)
- Deb M., Morgan Hill, CA.
...a good combination of wide field and reasonable eye relief...binoculars an excellent value. - Fan T., Campbell, CA. (11x56mm)
Got the binocs today, pleased with them...very good packing job. Thank you. - Randill R., Bethel, OH. (11x56mm)
