Celestron 7X35mm Upclose Porro Prism

This Celestron 7 x 35mm UpClose is a very inexpensive all-purpose lightweight (21 oz.) porro prism binocular that is a super choice for watching sporting events, to take along camping or on vacation trips, or to take birding or out on family picnics or weekend outings. The 7x35mm UpClose has a wide 8° field of view (419' at 1000 yards) and very fast focusing so you can see all the action and keep fast-moving action sharply in focus. It's rubber armored for a comfortable grip and weather-resistant to shrug off the occasional summer shower (although it is not waterproof). Its 35mm fully coated BK7 optics gather substantial amounts of light, making it a useful performer in the low light of twilight or under overcast skies. Close focus is 15', making it quite good for backyard birding. Usable eye relief is 11mm, so there will be some vignetting for those who must wear eyeglasses while observing. Overall, this is a good medium power wide field binocular at a sensational price - easy on the eyes, easy in the hands, and very easy on the budget.
