Good binocs for the cost - Carson Scout 8x22mm Porro Prism Binoculars

Bought these for easy-carry, no big deal to damage or lose. Minimum focus is less that 8 feet, making them great for birds and butterflies. Maximum focus depth of field is about 30 feet to infinity. Also really handy to keep around the house to grab and view through windows.
Pros: lightweight, good depth of field
Cons: optics are fine, but not top of the line
