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.

Just to confuse the matter, my old pair of 7x50's (that I sadly don't have anymore) used to state a 7deg field of view, which works out to ~122m over 1000m
