 In a review of 56 mid-priced binoculars in Bird Watcher's Digest (and also available at Birdwatching.com, the site of authors Michael and Diane Porter), the Vortex Viper 8x42 binoculars (*est. $480) earn seventh place overall. The authors call these binoculars "the best binocular buy of all." The eye relief of 20mm is among the highest available. The binoculars are waterproof, fogproof and nitrogen purged and sealed. At 23 ounces, the weight is about average for full-sized binoculars.

Reports say the Pentax DCF HR II 10x42 binoculars (*est. $360) are especially good in dim or fading light. A review on Optics4Birding.com states that Pentax has several models with good to excellent optics. These binoculars are waterproof and will resist damage even if submerged in three feet of water. They weigh 28.2 ounces.
Mid-size binoculars, $200 to $500

While an objective lens size of 42mm has a lot of light-gathering power, it does increase the size and weight of the binoculars. Mid-size binoculars with a 32mm aperture have a dimmer image (especially in low light), but they are lighter and more compact. For all-day birding or hunting use, 8x32 or 6x32 binoculars may be a better choice simply because of their comfort.

The compact, lightweight Leupold Wind River Katmai 6x32 binoculars (*est. $300) weigh just 18.2 ounces and fold down to a compact 4.5 inches wide. They focus down to 4.9 feet, nearly twice as close as the Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 binoculars, and the Katmai binoculars' 425-foot field of view is nearly a hundred feet wider. This makes it easier to track moving objects like birds or a quarterback rushing down the field. Unlike the Nikon Monarch ATB binoculars, they come with excellent caps for the objective lenses, plus a rainguard for the ocular lenses (the ones closest to the eye). The Cornell Lab review ranks these 6X binoculars just above the Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 binoculars for image quality (even though they use Bak-7 prism glass), close focus and field of view. A review at Optics4Birding finds their optics good, albeit with "the tendency for straight lines to bow inward at the edges of the field" and a very slight yellowish color bias.

Cornell Labs and Bird Watcher's Digest note that the Katmai binoculars are not very comfortable for people with small hands, and despite their 16.6mm eye relief, eyeglass wearers don't find them very comfortable. While Leupold also makes 8x32 binoculars in the Katmai series (*est. $330) , the Cornell review finds their focus not as sharp, also noting that they feel flimsy in comparison with the Katmai 6x32 binoculars. All the Leupold Wind River Katmai binoculars carry a lifetime, non-transferable warranty, but without any accident protection.
