I got fed up with carrying heavy 8x40 binoculars around my neck so I down-sized and bought these super binoculars for �50. Still available at this price. Had my pair for about a year for general birdwatching. You can even digiscope through them! They are light to handle and the image is clear and crisp. Field of view not bad. They can pop into your pocket. I also take them to the theatre and to football matches. Content and images originally posted by brianfellows
