Designed from the ground up as the ultimate midsize binocular, packing our next generation optics into an ultra rugged yet compact and lightweight form factor, with an ultra smooth, ultra precise central focusing system. We built this for those going to far away places seeking the unseen.
The Field Issue is our goldilocks product, the midsize binocular incorporating optics of the Pro Issue with the compact ruggedness of our Standard Issue. What sets the Field Issue apart is the HiFi Fully Multi Coated optics and Swiss designed Bak4 prism, packed into a compact housing. Featuring an ultra precise, oversized focus wheel, the central focusing on this binocular is our finest to date. Fully waterproof and fogproof, with our patented Rugged Wave Grip, this binocular is designed to go anywhere and provide bright, crisp views, no matter the time of day.

Our thoughts here at Larkstone: These binoculars are a surprisingly good step up from the standard issue in in terms of image quality, without getting too heavy into heavy price points, or too much bigger in size. These out-perform what we were expecting from them by a long shot, and are definitely something we can recommend for a beginning birder, or a serious birder who wants a good extra pair that isn't stressful to knock around a bunch, or hand off to a friend.
If I had to pick a pair of binoculars to have by my side while sipping morning coffee on the back porch and watching the bird feeder, I think these would be the go-to.
Fun colors are for fun people only!
What does 8x32 mean? 8x is the magnification power, and 32 is the mm size of the front glass element. The larger the front glass is, the more light it lets in, and that's a big deal at the end of the day.
Should I get 8x or 10x? We tend to prefer 8x magnification for most of our adventures. 10x is nice when the subject is super far away, like a lake. Ultimately, it's personal preference, but we tend to find the 8x magnification is easier to use. Above 10x, and you pretty much have to be tripod mounted or it's way too shaky, so most consumer binoculars don't even offer it.
