Fov is determined my magnification eg the higher you go the less fov you get and also by optical design. Ive got some 25x60 that have a fov of 2.4. My 8x32 have a fov of 7.8.The same. I thought so too but not sure what “Real field of view” means. I’m quite sure some binoculars will state a higher fov but won’t actually look as wide for whatever reason
Like I said, these are at least thirty years old! They're a bit grubby which is fine and the lenses could probably use a clean but I'll manage it somehow. Wonder if I can get replacement end caps from somewhere.I have a pair of Pentax 10X24 UCF binoculars which look almost the same - they are fantastic and lasted me years so far.

It must be 40yrs ago when I first looked through a pair of Leica 10x25 pocket binos (in a shop with lots of other premium binos to compare with) and I was stunned by the quality of the view for such a tiny thing even compared to the likes of other Leica binos, and those by Zeiss and Swarovski. I never bought them though because they were expensive and practically useless at night, but I still lusted after a pairWell finally a couple of months ago I picked up a minty example for less than half price.
Moral of the story: Don't ever look through a telescope or binocular you can't afford lol!
Nice, about £400?
It's a clear night tonight so thought i would get the Pentax bins out I just bought. Wow, I was actually impressed I could see the craters on the moon really clearly and many more stars. I spend 30 mins outside before i reaslised i was freezing cold on my balcony
