I was really surprised at the very high quality of these 8x30 binoculars because Barska is not known to me as one of the top brands like Nikon. The field of view is wide at a bit more than 8 degrees (more than average). What really shocked me is that even with the wide field I can comfortably use glasses with these binoculars and see the entire field - the eye relief is around 18mm (that is extraordinary for a wide angle, compact model). If you don't use glasses, the eyecups are extendable. The view is very sharp across most of the field - though these are a bit small for astronomy, when I tested them out on the night sky, stars were pinpoint at the center. Towards the very edge stars do get fuzzy and elongated (astigmatic) but that is typical for a wide angle binocular. The optical coatings seem to be good quality; thank you Barska for not using silly red or other color altering coatings. I would recommend these binoculars very highly for birding or any other outdoor activity (they're rated as waterproof, though I would take that with a grain of salt - center focus binoculars are nearly impossible to truly waterproof). I should note that I am a collector of binoculara and own more than 100 sets.Read full review
