Thread: Midget binos

Binoculars need to "fit" your eye and scan habit. The difference in power between 6-10 doesn't make a lot of difference for spotting game (determining more specific characteristics maybe, but that's not spotting) so i don't recommend anyone be talked into the opinion that "you'll see more with 10x than 7x".

You'll have a much higher chance of getting glass that suits by looking through it that trying to choose by specification - set yourself a price bracket and peer through as many pairs across a range of magnifications as you can before you choose. I had an exceptional pair of mid range Minox 7x bino's, and got a superb pair of top end 8x42's by peering though every set in all the shops between Invercargill and Chch.
