Discovery WP PC 8x42 - Birdwatcher's Digest Magazine

Wednesday, August 31, 2016

The Opticron Discovery focuses closer than any other binocular in our survey: 4.9 feet. Wouldn't that be great for watching hummingbirds up close? Along with very good resolution and a good field of view (393 feet), that helped the Discovery be part of a three - way tie for second place in the overall score.
