7x birding binoculars

One of my early, serious, high grade birding binoculars was a Swarovski 7x42 SLC, which I loved for its picture window wide view and its, oh, so easy to hold seven magnification. I foolishly let it go, but, I would be quite happy to own another one. I did own that great Swarovski 7x42 SLC long enough, though, to fall in love with 7x for a magnification. The 7x binocular has lost ground in popularity over the years, but there are still some great 7x premium binoculars, left. The new Swarovski 7x42 SLC is everything the old one was and when you add the Zeiss Victory 7x42 FL, the Nikon EDG 7x42 and the Lieca Ultravid HD 7x42, you have the world's best in a full size 7x birding binocular.

Don't forget the Canon 7x42 binos. I gave a pair to my wife and was very pleasantly surprised. I have Leica Ultravids and Zeiss Victory FLs so I have a pretty lofty reference point, and the Canons are fantastic for the $180 price. They: are made in Japan, not China, are ruggedly built and perform beautifully. The performance to price ratio of this product is tremendous. (Posted by  mbonacorsa: 8:50 PM  )
