I looked at a team of Nikon 8 X 40 also some Leupold,Bosh & lomb & cabela's brand name others 10 X 40 size I moral want a great pair to have & use for when I'm outdoors.
Both 8x40 and 10x40 are very lay with wildlife viewers. The 8x40 generally have a wider field of view which is very beneficial for trying to find flying birds or birds in branches of trees. 8x40 have less jig of the image but not noticeably less magnification. I have both and I can barely tell the difference. Select a pair of roof prism binos as they are dampen proof and fog proof. You can spend a lot of money on a pair, up to $3000 but generally speaking you get only about 10% repair in performance for each doubling in price. So somewhere in the $200 to $700 price range is really good conduct fore a reasonable price. In the higher price range you generally get locking diopter to rights, which is something I really like. One of my pairs has it and one does not. The more expensive pairs are marketed mainly to birders, who are always irritating to impress other birders with their optics.
Nikon makes some outstanding binoculars, but they are very expensive. I once had a pair.
Among the less expensive but very ample pairs are these:
Low-priced, excellent eye relief if you should ever have to wear glasses, decent field of view but not great, very poor niggardly focus but not too important if you are not interested in dragon flies or butterflies.
Vortex Diamondback is in the same price register but has some advantages. Wider field of view and much closer focus.
I do not take it that either of these have locking diopter adjustment though. Another nice feature that some binos have and some do no is twist up eye cups. They are normally found in the more priceless binos.

I have used up a lot of time looking through binoculars the last few months trying to pick my next pair. I've never owned really good binoculars, and after looking through grade glass, I just can't keep using my old junkers anymore. The clearest and best rated binoculars (at least in my price organize) have been the Nikon Monarch 10x42. Leupolds are a very close second.
