The Athlon Optics 8x42 Midas UHD binos are precisely what I was trying to find !! I had used Bausch and Lomb 7x42 for 15 years, and they were quite adequate, smaller in size as well as viewing quality, but still good enough for surf trips, wildlife viewing, etc., but the Athlons are terrific !! Bigger, but the quality is so improved over the B&Ls ! B&L sold their bino business to Bushnell a few years ago. I tried the Bushnells, and much prefer the Athlons, due to the single image, instead of the back and forth with the two tubes. Just outstanding clarity and quality with the Athlons !! The reviews I read for the Athlons explained a lot in technical terms by reviewers who know their stuff !! Thanks to all of them !!

Argon Purged
Argon purging gives you better waterproofing and thermal stability additionally making your binoculars fog proof in tough weather conditions.

Great binoculars. They rival far more expensive ones.
I've had these for about 2 months now and they experience everyday use. They are great for birding. These were an upgrade from my beginning pair of nikon binoculars and the difference is really significant. I'd say you can't go wrong with these. My only complaint is that the lense caps pop off very easily. This is especially troublesome if you're bushing it, in water, or it's raining. They feel good in your hands, aren't too heavy, and are durable through normal drops or bumping into things. The image you get through these is really great.

Highly recommended. As good as, if not better than, over-priced high-end expensive Zeiss optics available. Great value.
