Okay, so here's my quasi scientific, slightly shaky review. I was motivated to write this as these are seriously a great buy, but the 10x mag seems to be a fantasy. My method was to focus on the church and then put my phone camera to the eyepiece and try to hold it all steady. I think the photos do a reasonable job of indicating magnification,field of view,and general image brightness/sharpness. But don't get hung up on blur etc towards the edges as this is more a factor of me trying to align and hold the camera to the eyepiece.
I tried to centre on the rain spout. Hopefully the full size images, including my reference codes, will be displayed when you click on them. The Hontry (Hontry 10x25) is compact, light, swift to focus and easy to do so with one finger, and provides a luminous, colourful image.I'd say it's mag factor is closer to 8 (compare with the hawke 8x25 - H 8x25 photo). It may even be slightly less than 8 (judging by eye). I've had the Hawke several years now and I think they were something like 5x the price. The focusing is also a tad stiff, making it a little awkward to do so with one hand.
I had a couple of old 10x mag binoculars to hand: my ancient Chinon 10x50 (AC 10x50 photo) and my dad's old, little Vivitar (OV 10x25 photo). These are good comparisons showing the Hontry seems nowhere near the 10x mag. My ancient Chinon is a beast. Honestly, it's the last thing you'd want dangling from your neck whilst out walking. The old Vivitar is small and light but the image is, frankly, somewhat blurry and dull. I bought my first of these Hontrys to let my 2.5 year old son play with because he'd discovered my dad's old Vivitar and wouldn't put it down.But I found the Hontry image so bright and clear that I've let my son keep playing with the Vivitar!
Yes, the 10x claim seems utter fabrication, but for bird and wildlife watching out on the move, and something that you can easily slip in a pocket, it's great. Bear in mind magnification is useless if an image is blurry. I first bought two; one for my son and one for my elderly mum. As I've said, I ended up "keeping" the Hontry for myself. I think at around £20 each, they're a steal.Soon after I managed to pick up another for around £19. At these prices, for something around 8x mag that's easy to carry and provides bright, sharp images, this is seriously a great commodity binocular that you can take anywhere and aren't afraid to.Keep one in the car glovebox, in the shed, at your mistress's...
