While a binocular's AFOV may be modest, it may still provide a great sense of transparency. This is presumably achieved by big ocular lenses, collapsed eyecups and sleek design. The thinner the black circle around the image, the more of the out-of-image FOV will be perceived. This does not fully make up for a smallish AFOV, but it enhances the viewing pleasure and the ease of view.</p></blockquote><p></p>
