I just posted a link in the Alaska board to an extensive set of tests on binoculars done by the Cornell Ornithology Lab including a rating of the ZenRays and of other binoculars in the same price range.

donaldsc Posted December 13, 2013 #28 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Zen-Rays are really highly regarded by many and deserve their reputation. They also have a great warranty as well, so this should give you peace of mind. They are not regarded as that great by the Cornell Lab for Ornithology http://www.allaboutbirds.org/Page.aspx?pid=2674&__hstc=132624273.f0297d4aa241932b8525973fc097d8b9.1386889932925.1386889932925.1386889932925.1&__hssc=132624273.3.1386889932925&__hsfp=1717617835 They are not even among the recommended binoculars in their price group. They also have a very low rating for people who were eyeglasses. In the less than $200 group of binoculars, 5 of the 6 recommended binoculars had better ratings than the ZenRays which are in the $200 -m $400 group. Check out the article. It is very interesting.
