According to our binoculars expert
The Barr & Stroud Sahara 8x42 is a pair of binoculars for nature and outdoor enthusiasts. You can view beautiful birds, interesting insects, and fascinating flowers with its 8x magnification. Thanks to the short close focus distance, you can also bring close-range objects into focus. The multi-coated lenses provide a clear and high-contrast image with true-to-life colors. You can adjust the distance to your eyes with the adjustable eye cups. This way, you'll always have a comfortable viewing position, even if you wear glasses. You can take the binoculars outside without having to worry about rain, as the casing is waterproof and can take a beating, thanks to the rubber armor covering.

Grip
We like these binoculars very well, good grip and compact, which in turn benefits when spotting. In short, a nice viewer and a good price-quality ratio.

I bought these binoculars for leisure, at the beach, at airports with parachute jumpers etc. The binoculars are light in weight so you can easily look through the binoculars for a longer period of time without it becoming "heavy". The bag has enough space to store the binoculars and a separate compartment is available for a lens cloth. A viewer that is not inferior to more expensive copies.

Bought for communion from my godson, a great animal lover and a bird watcher in the making. Great binoculars to start with: good design, nice image, even in low light. And not too expensive in case it should come into unsoft contact with the ground, as a result of youthful rashness and enthusiasm when spotting the first buzzard.
