You can refer to the guide above for some ideas regarding the best 8×42/10×42 models currently recommended. We personally like 10×42 overall simply because they can be better used for other types of viewing besides birding (seeing landscapes, beach/country, sports etc. I was getting fed up of taking my big, heavy ones, but was worried that a smaller pair wouldn’t give satisfaction. Not used them for hiking yet but glad I went for the 8×32 Mini pair as they are nice and compact and not too heavy. When you are using a slightly higher magnification, such as with 10x binoculars, you will be able to take in more details.Featuring a stylish waterproof design and fully multicoated optics, they produce bright, razor sharp images. Although we also love and appreciate the Zeiss Terra we must admit that there is a noticeable difference. Small enough to fit in pocket, round neck or attached to belt, and easy to use in conjunction with camera. The Bresser 16×50 binoculars are high power binoculars yet are easy to hold, focus and use without the need for a tripod. The forums are dedicated to wild birds, birding, binoculars and equipment and all that goes with it.

So, if you are an eyeglass wearer, always try to get an eye relief that is a minimum of 15mm to see the entire image. If it was necessary to replace either of these binoculars with similar performance models what would you recommend? I want to do bird watching, mostly out to sea (from the shore) but also to look at mountainous islands about 10 miles away and also look at the moon and perhaps some stars! Small in size yet big on performance, they are the perfect choice for birdwatching, hiking, sports viewing, travel and the outdoors. For anyone who wears eyeglasses, the most suitable pair of binoculars would be those that have a longer eye relief.Hardest thing I had to do was to work out, using their instructions, how to thread the strap, but that is probably just me.

We found them very handy for checking gates on footpaths from the opposite end of a field especially if the field had bulls in it! But overall, 10×42 is a safe choice to cover all grounds, for any use, and enjoy a good balance between magnification, lens size (for brightness) and lightweight binoculars. It’s a revelation to be able to pick up binoculars and use them without first removing my spectacles, and losing sight of what I want to look at! Nice design too with a generous eye relief to use with glasses on (a rare feature for compact binoculars! She found the binoculars really light and was amazed by the clarity and brightness of the images compared with her old ones.When it comes to 10×42 models, we like the Zeiss, Avalon, Nikon and Vortex models as well as the more pricy European brands (Leica, Swarovski, Zeiss). Having tried them out briefly, I can say that they feel very good quality and provide a crisp image of the object being viewed. Simply put, it is the distance your eyes can be apart from the eyepiece and still allow you to see a focused image. I purchased these after handling some top of the range 8 x 32 binoculars of a similar size and from a well known top end manufacturer.

The definition of “fully multicoated” is that the air to the glass surfaces has more than one anti-reflection coating, which is very beneficial when it comes to binoculars. View your subjects up close, in excellent detail, while avoiding any image shakiness or the need for a tripod. But there are some models on the market which focus from 3-4 meters (10 ft) and even as close as 2 meters (5-6 ft). Waterproof and fog-proof, body internally purged with nitrogen gas to prevent corrosion or lens fogging.My wife was really pleased with Avalon 8X32 binoculars, her previous binoculars were large and heavy, the Avalon are a lot smaller, lighter and she’s able to carry them in their own case for bird and animal viewing whilst out walking, very easy to focus good magnification and excellent quality, we are both really pleases with this purchase. This is a personal choice though and many other birders prefer 8×42 models, especially when used in forest like environments and for short/medium distances. In the 1970’s I bought Zeiss 10x40B Dialyts for my late wife and Leitz Trinovids 7 x 42B for myself from Metwood Accessories, long since ceased trading I believe?
