I have several pairs of binoculars. Outland LX 10X42 has a very wide view for a 10X power binocular. Close focus is closer than most other 10X42mm binoculars. These binoculars are high quality with the BAK4 prisms.I have 3 smaller 21mm 22mm 24mm compact binoculars, with these Outland 42mm medium sized binoculars I rarely use the others. I think you will agree!
br /I mostely like to view birds and wildlife with these.

I have two pairs of these binoculars as well as a pair of the Outland LX 8x42. I prefer the 10x42 and my husband prefers the 8x42 but both like to use both pairs. The twist up eyecups are a huge benefit whether or not you wear eyeglasses. The are not too heavy and being water proof, even if you do not use them near water it is a plus due to moisture etc. Be sure to twist down the eyecuyps when not using them since if you drop them with the eyecups up and then land on that end it will bend the edge. Even so, I bought myself a second pair because I like them so much.

We own several pairs of larger binoculars. We are very pleased with these small light weight ones. They are very clear and sharp. Great for bird watching.
