Recent Testimonials

Customer resided in Austria / Europe:
"... I know Russian KRONOS very well working with them for last years. 26x70 is in permanent use for pre-check of long path Microwave links up to 70 km. This binocular offers the best compromise in weight and magnification. Lot of people are smiling about "yellow" optic, but for distances longer then 10 miles it gives more correctness in colour through the atmosphere. I compared it with other quite expensive "true colour" binoculars from famous companies. Not any of them gave such a good picture at long distances..."

From our customer in USA:
"...I'm just writing to say thanks and to tell you how pleased I am with my Kronos 26x70's. These binoculars are an exceptional value. Before ordering my Kronos' I almost made the mistake of purchasing a pair of Pentax 20x60's from a local store but, fortunately for me, they were out stock! The Kronos 26x70 is superior not only in magnification but also image quality. And best of all, they didn't cost a fortune! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your website to my friends.
P.S. - Your home trial and return policies are probably the best on the internet or anywhere else for that matter!..."

Short Binocular Observing Session by Shneor Sherman:
"...I awoke at 3:30 a.m. this morning to try and do a bit of binocular astronomy with my 26x70 Kronos. I checked the sky, and it looked reasonable, with a few clouds to the south. So I dressed and set up my tripod and parallelogram mount, attached the binoculars, and went to my back yard. When I looked up, of course the sky had clouded over, although there were a few gaps here and there. I had a few quick and inconclusive glimpses of Jupiter, Saturn, the Pleiades and M42 over the next half-hour. So about 4:30 I went back in, retrieved the newspaper, had breakfast and read the paper. A bit before 6 I checked the sky, and found it mostly clear. So I set up the binos again, and had some very nice views.
Saturn and it's rings were clearly visible, as was Titan. The separation between the rings and the planet was obvious, although no detail was observable on the disk of the planet. Jupoter and it's moons, all in a line, was a pretty sight, though only an elusive hint of banding was visible. However, I noted that except near the center of the field, chroamatic aberration spoiled the planetary images. The Pleiades were a stunning sight, and almost had a three-dimensional quality against fainter stars. The view of M42 was good, but not as spectacular as I would have wished, as the sky was beginning to feel the effects of dawn. The trapezium was just visible.
By now, about 6:30, the sky was brightening up so I took the binos down and went in.
Hopefully, I'll be tired enough tonight to sleep in an extra hour Sunday...."
