    Looking for very small binoculars with low magnification...

    Incidentally it is the blue Coronet Midget that is the rarest ($400 to $1100 mint). So the same as a blue Leica 8x20 or 10x25. There are sets of seven, five and apparently a set of two with one ultra rare. Considering that these Coronet Midgets were given away in the 1930s in the cereal packets...

    Looking for very small binoculars with low magnification...

    I have the Zeiss 6x20. It is nice but old now. Also I don't think that it is waterproof and could have fungus if not properly inspected. There are cheap 6x18 Chinese waterproof independent eyepiece binoculars. Only one in three seem to be properly aligned. But a good one is very useful. IPD...
