Michael and Diane Porter wrote the following review, which appears in the January, 2012, Bird Watcher's Digest.

This is page 9 of the review.

We did not write individual reviews of all the mid-priced binoculars in our study. However, a few stand out as examples of excellence or good value.

Scores have a maximum possible of 5.0.

Mid-sized binoculars are small, lightweight, and economical, and they have a wide field of view. They're an ideal traveling binocular and plenty good enough optically to replace a full-sized one. Remember, a binocular you don't have with you is worthless, no matter how good it is.

You may think that you're absolutely stuck on your full-sized binocular, but the next time you're in an optics store, give a good mid-sized binocular a try. You may just end up walking out with it.
