Update: Steve has supplied an update (10th Feb) to this review - please see the bottom of the review. I have recently become the proud owner of a pair of Fujinon 8x42 BFL binoculars.

Good quality binoculars for the price. Ideal for a beginner to birdwatching. Optics not as good as the more expensive binoculars.

Awesome binocular..!!

Close Focus; Compact; Lightweight; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction; Works Well With Glasses

These binoculars are an excellent value for birdwatching in our backyard. They are easy to use and provide a clear shot of everything. We also purchased a WI birdwatching book and it arrived within the week as well. Can't beat O's prices and shipping!
