Spent sometime outside, and I can tell those ED lenses are a really big improvement. Although I don't have a direct comparison since I sold my old binoculars before I got this new one.

The camera didn't capture it well since I have to hold the binoculars in one hand and my phone in the other, and I'm shaking like hell, and I need to take the picture fast enough before the birds decide to leave. So... bear with what I have.

Anyway, really recommend upgrading to ED lenses if you're using normal glass lenses
