Review: Everything I needed and more… - Owning a high-quality pair of binoculars has been a long-time goal, and the Athlon Midas G1 delivers exactly that. For the price, the clarity and overall performance are excellent—easily competing with more expensive options. While the G2 version offers minor refinements, the difference isn’t significant enough for most users to justify the higher cost. The G1 already provides sharp, bright, and crisp images. Build quality feels solid and slightly premium in hand. The included case and strap are decent and practical. The only downside is the weight—it can cause some hand fatigue after 5–10 minutes of continuous use while standing. That said, image quality remains consistently clear. Setup is simple, and once adjusted for your eyes, it’s very easy to use. Great value and a strong choice for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Review: Great Wide Angle 8X Binocular - I live at the beach, and I am constantly watching the ocean (and all that comes by). I had a pair of 8X42 Porro Prism Olympus binoculars for many years that I really loved. Alas, I dropped them, and the prisms got jolted enough to ruin the image. I was in despair because they are no longer available. After much soul searching, I realized that the only thing to do is to get a better-quality binocular. I have been thoroughly enjoying my choice, the Athlon Optics Midas 8X42 Binoculars. Since they are roof prism binoculars, they are lighter and more compact than my former pair. I can gaze at the ocean and the horizon for extended periods of time without fatigue. They also sport a wider field of view than my former binoculars. I have used them for stargazing as well. We have a lot of light pollution where I live but with a 42mm objective and a 5mm exit pupil these binoculars work great for someone my age (older). The Athlon Optics Midas Binoculars come with handy objective lens covers that pop off and dangle. The attachment rings are secure so I can keep the objectives protected when not in use and quickly pop off the covers when I am ready to use. They have, of course, eyepiece covers, a neck strap and a carry case. Pros: 1. Excellent field of view 2. Flat field 3. Lightweight 4. Pop on/off objective covers 5. Carry case, neck strap, eyepiece covers Cons: None

## Features

- ED Glass - ED glass gives you an image with little or no chromatic fringe so the final result brings a clearer and sharper image to your eyes
- ESP Dielectric Coating is a multi layer prism coating that reflects over 99% of the light to your eyes bringing you a clear, bright image that displays accurate color reproduction.
- Advanced FMC - Advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses gives you better light transmission to bring optimum brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum.
- Argon Purged - Argon purging gives you better waterproofing and thermal stability and Field of view Angular -8.1 degree
- Long eye relief can be particularly important for eyeglass wearers because longer eye relief allows them to still see the entire field of view.Field Of View M @1000 METERS:144 m

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with lens protectors and a case?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad I chose these binoculars.
*by D***R on January 26, 2026*

I chose these binoculars because they were recommended by NY Times Wirecutter. I am on Maui watching humpback whales in the ocean between Lahaina and Lanai. The optics are superb. I can clearly see whales that are nearly invisible to my naked eyes. The binoculars are comfortable in my hands and the focus mechanism adjusts easily but stays where it is set. I can pass them around for others to see what I’m watching and then readjust them to me in a few seconds. I am very pleased with my purchase. They are also light and steady enough that they worked great when I took them on a small craft whale watching excursion.
