Higher magnification binos (10x+) have their place, but they limit your viewing area. For example, at a baseball game, you get a clear zoomed in picture of the batter, but can’t see most of the field. These 8x42 birding binoculars provide users with a broader field of view, so you get to see a close up of all the action. These high power binoculars provide minimal image shake and can be used by anyone that wears eyegl. They’re ideal for hunting, bird watching, whale watching, cruises, hiking, concerts, sports events, plane spotting, and loads more.
