Binoculars for Paddlers (Part 2)

"Still, selecting a good first pair of binoculars needn't be impossibly hard. Binoculars are tools, after all, and the first question you should ask yourself in buying any tool is this: "What job do I want it to do for me?" You wouldn't try to bone a chicken with a bread knife, would you? Or fish for brookies with a 15-foot spey rod? Match the tool to the job. That's the first rule."
