Nature & Birdwatching

The traditional binocular for bird watching has been the 8x40 (or 42) or a 10x50 (or 42). These offer the advantages of brightness, a wide angle (especially in the 8x) and a binocular that can held steady.

In recent years compact binoculars have become more popular and while they do not offer the performance in poor light that say an 8x42 will give, they are significantly lighter and smaller. If weight is a factor and they are to be used in good light then an 8x25 or a 10x25 are a great option.

    Testimonials For Magnaloux

    Following your advice I purchased the Magnaloux LC2 8X42. I have nothing but praise for the product which served me well not only in the game reserves in South Africa and viewing the Whales in Hermanus, but also at the races, bird watching etc. I was frequently asked by fellow guests if they could use them whilst I was taking stills and video and received only good comments. The customer service was exemplary and the personal return call from you much appreciated. The binoculars arrived in good time to give me a chance to get used to them. I would have no hesitation in recommending your products or your company.
