Binoculars

The best binoculars I had (sadly, I dropped them) were a pair of, I believe, Bushnels with a zoom lens. The low power was great for a wide field of view with minimal shaking. If I was interested in detail, a single lever let me zoom in. At the higher power, it was generally better to brace them against something.

I never found binoculars particularly satisfactory with my heavy prescription glasses. However, now that I've had cataract surgery, I'm glad you all have reminded me to dig out a pair for Saturday's ball game.

Here's a zoom pair for sale on Amazon.

These are cheap and the reviews are so-so. There are several other brands and prices available. [Selecting binoculars has become as complicated as buying a camera.]
