This is by far the best binocular I have ever owned. My original reason for purchasing them was their lower magnification than the common 10x found in many binoculars. It is easier to hold steady when observing wildlife or stargazing with them. I have several binoculars. Two cheap 10x50's which are actually not bad at all and which I keep in our cars in case we are out and spontaneously need them. One pair of 10x25 Nikon Sport, for when I want something pocket sized and light and which are very good, and a Revelation 15x70 binocular that I use for stargazing when I'm not in the mood to get my telescope out. Overall the Barr & Stroud Sierra performs the best even at only 8x magnification. They operate very smoothly and maintain good focus in both eyepieces when using the main focuser after the diopter is set, something that many cheaper ones don't in my experience. The image is also excellent with no colour cast that I can detect which is something both cheap 10x50s that I own fail at. Overall, the Barr & Stroud Sierra 8x42 is an excellent, well made binocular which is a real pleasure to hold and to use.Read full review
