Please giving suggestions (1 Viewer)

Hi all
Can anyone tell me the difference in optics between 7x42, 8X42, 10X42 T*FL?
Today I look a 8x42 T*FL in a bird club,no doubt the seeing is very bright and
sharp^^.

Personally I prefer 8x42,but someone said 7x is the best optics, I think the objectives are the same,
only the focal length of eyepice is different.is't right?
Please giving me suggestions before I place an order.
Thank you very much~

I have a Nikon 10x42 monarch for birding now,my 10x42 SE had been sold last
year because the 3D effect makes a bit flat shape of bird. I can't accept
that even the optics is very good.+_+

Joe,

The 8x42 and 10x42 FLs are the same overall length, so I suspect they have identical objectives and different eyepieces.

The 7x42 is 9 mm shorter so I would guess it has shorter focal length objectives with the same eyepieces as the 8x42.

For a single bin, 8x42 is probably the ideal compromise but if you are doing a lot of woodland birding the 7x42 will not only give an easier view and wider FOV, but also more depth of field and somewhat better twilight performance.

Hi John,
Thank you for your comment, I'll pick 7x42

Joe,

If you decide to keep the 10x42, the 7x42 FL would complement it ideally.
