Binoculars

[Roger Giller <>]

Hi Fiona,

I would recommend a pair of 8 X 40s for a 9 year old. The wider field of
view makes locating birds easier, and they are easier to hold steady. Close
focus is  another point to consider, especially when chasing LBJs in the
bush. The 40 mm objective also gathers 56% more light than the 32 mm, and
the lower magnification also helps give a brighter image, again good when
under tree cover.

Regards
Roger.

I have a 9 year old grandson who is becoming a birder like his mother.  I
would like to buy him a good pair of second hand 10 X 32 or similarly
binoculars. Has anybody upgraded recently and would be happy to sell them to
me?   I live in Melbourne.  I have Leica myself.

Thanks, Fiona Anderson
