    This is also true and one of the reasons that there is not a bino model that is perfect for every job. When watching Otters in the sea off the west of Scotland, and indeed all manner of diving things from birds to seals, a wide field of view is a fantastic asset to find where an Otter has...

    I think this is exactly why I find these views easier to examine: it takes one visual variable almost out of the picture, so to speak, and of course the field of view of the bino reduces peripheral distractions as well. Lee

    Yep, James is dead right. See the pic below, copied from elsewhere on Bird Forum, showing Conquest HD 8x32 alongside Kowa's 8x33 Genesis. Notice how short the barrels are on the wee Conquest. Lee
