I've been using 7x35 binoculars for several years. I found that during the dusky part of the evening when the temperatures cooled down and the birds flocked to my feeders, they were hard to see. So I did some research on a new set of binoculars.

br /Compared to the 7x35 the light quality is perfect. After focusing the Barska, I centered on my bird bath and actually ducked my head to avoid the water being splashed by the Grackle 40 feet away.
br /
br /Lets just say, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

A+ binoculars, no so much on the compass.

This is my first pair of binoculars! I bought it for field use - 100-300 meter out magnification. My requirements were a rangefinder ruler and a quality product overall.
br /
br /This pair met my expectations. There was a small issue however. I bought mine from Amazon, and got it at significant discount, but with non-functioning compass. Compass is just a simple swivel thing, but it would be nice to have it work.
br /
br /As I often look at open terrain through them, I find that 7 is not enough. This is, of course, not a compass defect, but a lesson I got a privilege of learning.
br /
br /I would prefer to have one focusing nob. There are two - one for each eye. Again, not a defect, just a style of binocular.
br /
br /Overall this is an excellent pair of binoculars.
