this isn't really a birding question, but you all seem to have a lot of binocular experience/expertise.
i'm looking for a lower magnification binocular, probably in the 3x to 5x range. just about every recommended model i have found is 7x or higher. these are for use in a football stadium so i don't really need to resolve fine detail, or have close focus, but uniform sharpness across the field of view is desirable.
good eye relief (i wear glasses) and light weight would be plusses, but not essentials.
i appreciate any help!
