You can never go wrong with a pair of STEINERS

[Gobble!]

Might order these. Has anyone used these in the past?

[Gobble!]

I am getting ready to purchase a small pair for turkey season.

Just read an article in Bowhunt America that suggested that you should have binocs that match your eye right for brightness, etc.  Formula that they gave said to take the opening and divide it by the magnification and it should be around 5.5.  Example they gave was 16 X 32 binocs was only 2 while 8 X 45 was about 5.5.

? not sure i understand that.lol

what he's saying is you take the lense diameter and divide it by the magnification to find the light transmition number. as a general rule of thumb binos with a light transmition of 5  or greater will "enhance" low light situation viewing over your natrual vision.

example: a pair of 8x42 binos will allow more light (roughly twice as much) than a pair of 8x22

42/8 = 6.25

22/8 = 2.75


still a great compact pair of binos for the money, just not prime for low light conditions is what he was saying

Much better worded, TauntoHawk... thanks.  I was tired when I read the article and too lazy to go look it up when I posted.
