Barr & Stroud Sierra 8x42 70172 Binoculars

The Barr & Stroud Sierra 8x42 is the optimum all rounder in the range. Its 42mm objective lenses in combination with its 8x magnification makes this the model which passes the most amount of light through to the users eyes, this is important if the observer will be using the binoculars in low light conditions such as dawn and dusk when wildlife are on the move, or looking closely at a bird's plumage in dense foliage where the light is restricted. 8x magnification is also relatively easy to hold steady without the need for additional support, such as a tripod, monopod or hide-clamp, in most conditions.
