    Looking for long eye relief binoculars

    Thanks for posting the review and sound like a good choice. I have read of some having issues with the focuser and hopefully a small minority. I am thinking of ordering through Amazon which I think has a good return policy in case I get a bad sample.

    Thanks to everyone for the helpful information. I have several in mind with the Kowa BD II 8x42 XD at the top of the list at the moment. They are listed as having 15mm of useful eye relief a fairly wide fov and mostly good reviews on the optics while reasonably priced. I am hoping they will...

    Looking for a log book

    I am a new birder and would like to get a log book to keep track of the birds I have identified. I am using Kaufmans' field guide which I like and live in Michgan. Are there any log books with pictures? Thanks. Dave Adams

    I am trying to find a nice pair of compact binoculars I can use for birding on hikes with my kids when I don't feel like taking along a larger pair. The Minox 8x24 look nice but not sure if I would like the narrow 5 deg fov. I want to get a pair of roof prism binoculars that are double hinged to...
