I can understand Depth of field @ 30/40 yds , but then what about 100yds +
Edit , just re reading it . so from 30/40 yds to lets sat 150 yds everything is in focus

I see, but I don't mind admitting I'm still a bit confused on how that would work in the real world. One of my mates has a nice set of binoculars that I had a play with last year. He was looking at what he thought was signs of fish at over 100yrds. Presumably in focus for him. He passed me the binoculars to get my opinion on whether the disturbance was a fish or birds, so we were looking at the same object and the same distance and I definitely had to refocus them for my eyes.

If we're getting technical, they are roughly set to hyper focal distance in photography terms, so sharpest focus might be 50yds but you can see anything from 30yds to infinity with a bit of eye straining.
I think the ones I had were praktica but I may be wrong, i bought them on a whim and got rid soon after.
They had the diopter adjustment on both eye cups which gives a bit of focus adjustment but not really enough for me.
I often use binos to watch a bait in clear water so I want to be able to focus at say 10-15 yards and these couldn't do that, just helps to isolate the hook bait when stalking, so I can choose whether to strike depending on which fish picks up the bait.
Replaced with some olympus 8x40 ones
Excellent but a bit bulky tbh

Ironic.

Yep you've got it daviduk
Thanks Duggs, looks like I'm going to have to see how I get on with the ones I ordered and take it from there.

What is the issue with manual focus?

Nothing wrong with them at all.
I was just interested in a quicker/easier solution when scanning the water, particularly from up a tree whilst holding on for dear life
