Asian glass that is average to the price point.

They get great reviews on other websites and now days cheap Simmons glass cost 100-200 bucks.  $250 appears reasonable for a light weight pair of packable glass.   :dunno:

At that price point it blows away any other competitor period.  It is not their european line but it isnt $1000 either. As far as being Asian glass you can't get anything but asian glass for less then $1000.

I would think so.  I don't have first hand experience with this particular glass, but they seem to value their reputation.  My guess is it was designed in house and Zeiss engineers are demonstrably capable of specking out a winner.

So...I got my Zeiss Terra ED's today in the mail.  Not much of a review as I just used them briefly in the yard, but so far they are well worth the money.   I burned a few gift cards and had them shipped to my door for $180 buck out of pocket.   :tup:  The glass is very clear and the unit appears very well made.  I think for the money a person couldn't really go wrong.  I will compare them next to my swarovskies next time I have the chance and report back.  All in all, I am pleased.   :tup: :tup:
