Several people have responded and in some way implied that magnification
is inversely proportional to field of view. That's basically true, of
course, but some 8x and 10x are wider than others. Can people tell me
what they consider to be wide enough, preferably in metres per 1000m,
but whatever is written on your binoculars is fine.
