Anybody know anything about these guys. I think they do a lot of camera gear, but their bino's ''seem'' to be excellent value for the money. Any ideas ??

They are BAK-4, fully multi coated. So as far as i know those things are very important when buying BIG bins.

I have never heard of the company "rokinon" before but that is not to say they are BAD.

25X100 for about £200 seems a bit low to me.

I cant decide if this is a good punt or not.

The 2 reviews posted are 50/50.

Personally i think i would air on the side of caution and buy from a well known retailer.

£200 for a pair of bins is a BIG investment.

I can only say that Strathspey binoculars offer quality bins at a nice price.

I would tend to agree with paul, they do look a bit cheap for 25x100's,, your best bet is to get a pair that you know will be collimated by the supplier, ie FLO for one.

Helios Quantum 4 binoculars 25X100 (about 300 quid) from FLO is about what i would expect to pay for such big bins........and that is even a bargain at that price for 25X100.
