I get quite a few questions from readers, where the answer is short enough that it does not warrant me writing a whole article on it, yet it would still be of use to other readers of BBR. Thus I have decided to put a page together containing these questions, with my quick answers to each of them:

Question: Best Buy, Mid Range/Cheap Birding Binoculars
Question: Best Buy, Mid Range/Cheap Birding BinocularsSimply asked: What is the “Best buy in cheap/mid range birding binocular 8x40 or 8x42″ currently on the market? Price tag max. 150 USD.
Answer
Thanks for the question, but to be honest there is no single best buy out there, but a number of them, which will vary depending on your needs, wants and likes.
Birdwatching & FOV
You say they are for birding, so you probably want to keep an eye on the Field of View (FOV) making sure it is nice and wide – Thus your initial choice of a bin with a 8x magnification is a good one as most 8x binoculars will have a wider view than more powerful instruments. The FOV may also be a way to make your final choice from your short list.
Suggestions
Take a look at these pages that have a number of suggestions and you wont go far wrong:
- Best Binoculars for under $200 / £200
- Best Value Binoculars – look under the Mid Priced section
- Birdwatching Binoculars – Explains why the FOV is important as well as other features to look out for.
