MY Junior 7x28 jungle green - SWAROVSKI OPTIK
www.swarovskioptik.com
"138/1094 yds"? I didn't think a new error was possible here. (actually 378/1000)
I think for kids, factors other than FOV and close focus may be even more relevant: eye relief / ease of view with and without glasses, ergonomics for small hands, fun factor (Swarovski spent months with kids to determine the choice of colors).Too bad the FOV is narrow, weight high for the 7x28 configuration and the closest focus distance longish. A small 7x with 4 mm exit pupil and top optics would actually be a welcome spec to the market. For kids, the Pentax papillio will still be a more tempting option.
That's a rather adult argument. What kids will notice is just that they can't focus on lots of nearby things. (FOV may not be an issue... compared to what?)As to close focus: insects at 2 meters appear less than 30 cm closer in a 7x binocular than insects at 4 m. This difference is rarely that relevant.
???? That would be rather stupid. I know kids who don’t wear glasses but still turn the diopter a bit when they borrow one of my binos.No diopter correction
See my 3:49 post above. You will see that she is holding the binoculars reversed.4m minimum focussing distance… but the kid in the glossy photo is looking at mushrooms about 10cm away….. hmmm?!
