are these considered porro prism binoculars

No they are roof prism. I know this is different from the other poster. I read the product description on Amazon, and it states they are roof prism.

Sorry, couldn't tell you that. But having now used them to watch whales, glaciers and other wonders in Alaska, and getting close views of beauty in the Med, I can tell you that they are great.

Yes. These are porro prism binoculars. And they are very good. Especially for the price.

Yes, they are. However, the cover for the eyepiece is flimsy and doesn't stay on as well as it should. That being said, they are excellent binoculars and, I feel, this is a minor flaw.

The binoculars were for my three grandchildren although I tried them a few times. I almost always enjoy using binoculars without glasses regardless of the type.

No to both. The optics are plastic and they are much like toy binoculars that you would buy for a child. The images are fairly dark in daylight, you lose the image completely in low light and photos are very poor quality. This should be a curiosity buy only (because they are inexpensive). Do not purchase this item if you are looking for binoculars or camera to use in the field.

Oh gosh, I'm not sure what you mean. I can tell you that I took these binocs to the Amazon for spotting birds, monkeys and sloths, and they were great! I'd have to say it's not a panoramic field of vision, but was excellent for my use. In fact, the other four adventurers asked to borrow them a time or two. I shared, reluctantly. :) I'd buy these again, given their performance in the Amazon jungle.

If I understand your question correctly, the binoculars are water-resistant and do not fog up, at least in my experience.

I don't use contacts, but my adult children do, and they have no difficulty with using binoculars in general, or these Vanguards in particular. I find the Vanguards to be exceptionally user-friendly, both in terms of optical qualities and comfort.

Mine did not. But it depends on whether you get a good piece or not. These are cheap binoculars. Quality control may not be that great.

They are not as powerful as a full set of observational binoculars. I use them for viewing in my yard or across the street. You might want to go to a sporting store and just try some out to see what you think.

In short - YES. I have a PCF WP II binoculars and the Pentax Tripod Adapter for PCF. As Glen Saucier said, these two do work well together with a little manipulation.

I honestly can't answer your question because I don't know what is required of bird watching binoculars. Sorry. I use these at sports events, volleyball in particular. I'm not fast enough to follow the ball but I do watch the players.

Yes. My husband absolutely loves these binoculars. And he has used several other brands. These are great!

I think they would be great. I love mine. I bought them specifically for bird watching and they are great, you can be just 5 feet away and still look at the birds even closer with those binoculars. They also have great magnification for longer distances and they are small and lightweight, which would be nice at the ballpark.

They are a really good deal as far as being well constructed with a low price tag. That said, these are what I consider "basic" use binoculars. Any special use, like low light, you'd get better quality if you go up a little. I've used them at dusk, and they are very so-so. I still like them and would buy again.

Actually they are quite large and I had to send mine back for that reason. I ordered Tasco 12x25 binoculars they are much smaller and fit neatly in my purse.
