Very light; I suspect there are some plastic lenses in there somewhere. Sharp (even for astronomical use which is demanding), relatively bright, very well collimated. If you are over 45 years old, there’s no reason to get 50mm since your pupil will not open enough to take advantage of the bigger exit pupil that 50mm binocs provide. You’re just carrying around extra weight & paying more. Liked them so much I gave a pair as a gift.

These are very good quality binoculars. For this price they would be hard to beat.
I now have these in 8×40 and a pair in 10×50 of this same type & use them for birding in my back yard & along the coast. I would rate these glasses equal to those costing 10 times the price.
