Binoculars: A Comprehensive Guide
Whether you're a hunter, bird watcher, military, or marine personnel, a reliable pair of binoculars is essential. Choosing the right binoculars for your needs, however, requires careful consideration, as the specifications for bird watching may differ significantly from what a soldier requires.
Key Considerations When Buying Binoculars
Selecting binoculars involves matching them to your specific requirements. They are designed to cater to various professional needs, so consider how often and for how long you'll be using them. For example, naval range-finding binoculars are large and can weigh up to 10 tons. The choice is personal and depends on factors like weight comfort and eyepiece suitability, especially if you wear glasses.
Important Factors to Consider
The most critical parameters are magnification and lens diameter. A 7x35 binocular means it magnifies objects seven times more than the naked eye and has a front lens diameter of 35 millimeters. A larger diameter increases the field of view and ensures clearer images, although too high magnification can reduce clarity. Doubling the lens diameter significantly enhances light gathering, thus improving image clarity.
If you're interested in activities like horse racing or military surveillance, a wider field of view is preferable. The field of view is specified in degrees, which can be multiplied by 52.5 to determine the width from a distance of 1000 yards.
Lens Coating
The lens coatings affect image quality by reducing glare:
- Plain Coating: Low quality
- Full Coating: Moderate improvement
- Multicoated: Better clarity
- Fully Multicoated: Optimal quality
For the best experience, choose binoculars that are at least fully coated.
If you wear glasses, look for rubber eyecups and ensure lenses aren’t set too deeply, which can restrict the field of view. For bird watching, a close focus range (15-18 feet) is ideal, so check the ability to focus at close distances.
Additional Features
The zoom function allows power adjustment, useful for both bird watching and military applications. For example, binoculars labeled 10-50x50 have a power range from 10x to a maximum of 50x.
Finally, consider the design:
- Porro Prisms: Larger exit pupils, quick focus, wide field of view, but bulky.
- Roof Prisms: Lighter, waterproof, more compact, but expensive.
- Pocket Designs: Portable and lightweight, but images may appear darker.
When selecting binoculars, understanding these elements will help you find the perfect pair tailored to your needs.
