I had this as part of the last post but decided to split it out as it warrants it's own.

Here's one thing I'm confused about - angle of view/field of view. Both the Dick Smith and Andrews binocs are 10x50 and claim 122m@1000m, but the field of view is noticably smaller in the Dick Smith Pair. That's not subjective. I couldn't fit the southern cross in the field on the Dick Smiths. I could with a tiny bit of room to spare on the Andrews. Even stranger the field on the 20x50 Bushnell Powerview also fits the Southern Cross in, but they claim to give a field of 57m@1000m. Can anyone explain that to me?

I think the Bushnells are mismarked. No wonder I can hand hold them. Mismarked factory seconds? If it's a copy/fake it's a darn good one down to the poor neck strap and good optics.
