Sightseeing, sports, festivals, museums, your backyard bird feeder—the lightweight, compact Swarovski Optik 8x30 CL Companion III Binoculars lets you enjoy the details with a crisp, stable image. The 8x magnification is not the highest available, but it offers two advantages over higher-powered optics: a less jittery view from hand shake and a wide field of view. The single-hinge bridge leaves plenty of room for your fingers and the 9.8' minimum focus distance is great for examining a nearby bird or the brush strokes on a painting. The Companion III's are designed for active people—waterproof, functional in the cold and the heat, and sized for comfortable use by youths and adults.
