    That depends on what you mean by usable. The outer field is not sharp. But it is still usable, for example if birding close range in dense habitat for locating a bird in heavy cover. Overall, I think they are about average for around the $200-$300 price range. $206 on Amazon. Nothing special...

    Hi, good question. I was mainly looking for 7x, but I did consider the Zeiss SF 8x32, because it has a large field of view for 8x and I read it has good 3D effect for 8x. After comparing the two, I chose the UVHD+ 7x42 for some of the reasons others have commented. Very steady view (I agree...
