Digital camera reviews of Celestron 72022 SkyMaster 8x56 Binoculars

Digital camera Review: Avoid all Celestron products
Summary: 1 Stars

Several years ago I purchased a 5 inch Celestron telecope that was OK and I also purchased expensive 7x50 binoculars that were defective from day one.

They would not focus as advertised. (<25') and would only focus beyond 50'. I paid to send them to California for repair and they came back in the same condition.

I paid $350 for these pro editions but considered them junk so I lent them to some casual acquantances and whn they returned them they were no longer collimated.

I explained that a factory repair would probably not be satisfactory so I wanted them to purchase a replacement pair. They purchased 8x63 binoculars that have a sticky focusing ring and are shaky.

2 months have passed before I received a reply from my several emails to Celestron regarding repair of the 7x50 binoculars and I spent a lot of time and money while waiting to talk to someone on the phone. They do not have a toll free number. After waiting for 30 minutes they just cut me off.

AVOID CELESTRON. Many better choices for less money. They buy cheap stuff from China and the geeks in California do not know how to repair it.

Summary of Celestron 72022 SkyMaster 8x56 Binoculars

celestron?s SkyMaster Series of large aperture binoculars are a phenomenal value for high performance binoculars. Ideal for astronomical viewing or for terrestrial (land) use, especially over long distances. SkyMaster models feature high quality BAK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast. celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions.
Seeing is believing with the Celestron 72022 Ultima DX 8 x 56 waterproof binoculars. The Ultima Series has always been one of Celestron's most highly respected line of binoculars. It's hard to believe, but with the newly redesigned Ultima DX Series, outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes will find even greater value.

Combining superb optics, quality construction, and affordability, the Ultima DX series is perfect for the serious bird watcher who demands a binocular that is lightweight and easy to use, or the outdoor enthusiast who relies on rugged durability and resistance to the elements.

The new design elements of the Ultima DX Series include a waterproof body, shock-resistant rubber covering, and twist-up eyecups. Ultima DX binoculars provide superb image quality with BAK-4 prisms, fully multi-coated optics, diopter adjustment for sharp focusing, and they are super lightweight for their aperture size. With long eye relief for comfortable viewing and an excellent depth of field that provides a good overview without the need for constant refocusing, all Ultima DX models are excellent for all kinds of long distance viewing. And with large fields of vision, these binoculars are well-suited for astronomical and other low-light observation. It's simply hard to imagine a set of binoculars with these many outstanding features in such a durable yet lightweight design.

The Celestron 72022 features an 8x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 56 millimeters, giving it a 7-millimeter exit pupil. (The exit pupil size -- the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification -- determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.) All Ultima DX Series models also come with Celestron's No Fault Limited Lifetime Warranty.
