Both! - Picked up a pair of the 8x, looking for waterproof, offhand, porro for birdwatching, camping, some moon-gazing, tripod mountable. The quality of these is great for what you pay. Multiposition eyecups, smooth action focus barrel, very low chromatic edge effects, good depth, sharp image, low glare. Was impressed enough I immediately picked up the 6x. The reduced image shake and increased field pretty much make up for the decreased magnification. These are no fuss, easy to use binoculars, you could hand the 6x to pretty much anybody young or old and they could "make it work". The only gripes are the case is pretty flimsy and the lens covers are almost an afterthought. But plenty of expensive binoculars pooch these too... Tightened the occular covers and jury rigged the objective covers using a hole punch and ty-raps Review: KOWA-Bunga Dude! A Little Optical Engineering Marvel! - Lightweight! Wide field of view! Great….I mean…GREAT depth of field! An almost mesmerizing depth of field! Bright views with great clarity and color rendition! Works great with eyeglasses! Let me repeat…works great with eyeglasses! I mean……KOWA-Bunga Dude! I’ve wanted a smaller 6-7x binocular for some time and I recently ordered the Oberwerk 6.5x32 binocular. Great little binocular. BUT…..they just weren’t clicking with my eyeglasses. Since I expect to carry these things whilst hiking/walking I’m not going to concern myself with taking off my glasses like I might when gazing at the night sky. So I sent the Obies back and I ordered the Kowa 6x30’s and I am more than satisfied. I am thrilled with this little optical engineering marvel. These things are almost enchanting. Very Highly Recommended! With one caveat……… The only issue, and it’s not really an issue for me, is that these are not the binoculars you want for viewing things much under 20 feet away. I did a little further research and the close-in focus is listed as 5 meters (16.5 ft). These are not the binoculars for standing close to a bush while observing butterflies. I have some roof prisms that will let me stand 5-7 feet away with a good focus. Getting back to these little Kowa’s……I can confirm that things around 17 feet start looking a little sketchy. But they don’t get blurry. The center image remains while you start seeing the crescent effect on each side of the center image. Frankly, I can keep a clear center image under 10 feet. But the closer you focus the more you need to push together the barrels to offset some of the increasing crescent effect and at some point it is futile. But, to Kowa’s credit, they list the close in focus at 5 meters and I find that to be, more or less, accurate. NOTE: My experience with the “crescenting” was while wearing my eyeglasses. Your mileage may vary. These are marvelous little binoculars that will open a world of wonders to a new user and also delight seasoned users with very enjoyable views. 06/07/25 Note: I enjoy these little bins so much that ordered another pair as a gift for a family member. ## Features - All Surface, Multi-Coated Binocular with Phase Correction - Lightweight, Compact Binocular - Waterproof and Fogproof - Limited Lifetime Warranty - Perfect for All Ages and Experience Levels ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08C7YKXDD | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,657 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #766 in Binoculars | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (78) | | Date First Available | July 2, 2020 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Item model number | YF II 30-6 | | Manufacturer | Kowa | | Product Dimensions | 6.3 x 4.5 x 1.9 inches | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Kowa - **Magnification Maximum:** 6 x - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 30 Millimeters - **Special Feature:** Lightweight,Waterproof ## Images ![YF II 6x30 Binocular - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wlfCl5yZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Both?

They're also lightweight and compact, with wonderful 3D clarity.
