Oh, that is great to know - thanks, Jo Ann. I've been using the same dilapidated pair that my boyfriend's dad gave me in college SO many years ago I always loved them because they were small and auto-focusing - and even camouflaged. But after years of use & kid abuse, only one side still works...sorta. It's a pathetic state of affairs for people like us who love bird watching. I admit I just never really learned what the # x # stuff meant, and didn't want to cheap out on a new pair that wasn't up to par. $80 sounds like a good deal, especially recommended by Jim!

Mary Ann, My husband has been birding since his teens (he's now 63)He has found a pair of binocs that he really likes that are small, waterproof, lightweight and relatively inexpensive(around $80). They are Olympus 8 x 23 WPI Field 5.5 He gets them mail order. If you want the company name I'll ask him when he gets back. I have a pair and I really like them--especially because they are so lightweight. Happy Birding JoAnn

Can anyone recommend some affordable, good birding binoculars......preferrably smallish? Not the smallest, but very portable? Thanks.
