I purchased the Activa 8x42D WP Sports recently and received them this week. I went to a local park on Monday evening around 7:30 with mostly cloudy skies. Even in low light conditions I was able to see the red streaks on a Yellow Warbler quite clearly. I made comparisons between the Nikon Monarch ATB and the Leupold Wind River Cascades and find these to be just as good if not better, especially with close focusing for insects, etc. I recommend the Activa. It lets just as much light through and uses quality optics and coatings.

These binoculars work great with or without eyeglasses on. Objects from 5 feet to infinity are bright and crisp when viewed through them. Compaired to others in their catagory they are an exceptional value. They greatly exceeded my expectations!
