7 Crucial factors to consider<br />

when searching <strong>for</strong> the right<br />

https://the<strong>binoculars</strong>guy.com/


• The first factor you should think about, is<br />

the magnification of your <strong>binoculars</strong>. Many<br />

people make the mistake of thinking that<br />

the bigger the magnification, the better<br />

the <strong>binoculars</strong>.<br />

• If you are hunting in dense <strong>for</strong>est, perhaps<br />

a 14x or even a 19x would be better <strong>for</strong><br />

your use. If you will be using the <strong>binoculars</strong><br />

<strong>for</strong> watching birds, a magnification of 8x is<br />

a better option.<br />

• If you are looking <strong>for</strong> a good all-round<br />

<strong>binoculars</strong>, a 10x magnification should<br />

work well <strong>for</strong> you.<br />

MAGNIFICATION


OBJECTIVE SIZE<br />

The size of the lens is the objective size. This second part in<br />

the typical 10x42 denotation tells us what the objective<br />

size is <strong>for</strong> a binocular. The value 10 refers to the<br />

magnification. The 42 refers to the objective size as<br />

measured in millimeters(mm).<br />

If you will be travelling with your <strong>binoculars</strong>, you won't<br />

enjoy lugging around a big, heavy set of binos. The smaller<br />

the objective size, the more compact the binos .<br />

For travelling purposes, sporting events, or going to the<br />

opera, you might lean towards a smaller objective size. If<br />

you need a wider field of view, perhaps when hunting, or<br />

viewing panoramas, a larger objective size would suit you<br />

better.


FIELD OF<br />

VIEW<br />

The field of view refers to how wide an area is visible through the<br />

lens at a certain distance. It is a measurement taken at the 1000<br />

feet mark.<br />

For example, the Vanguard Endeavour 10x42 has an incredible field<br />

of view of 374ft. This means that with the Endeavour you can see an<br />

area 374ft wide at a distance of 1000 yards.<br />

A larger magnification means a smaller field of view. A smaller FOW<br />

might not be the right option if you will be viewing fast moving<br />

objects at a distance. For example, wildlife viewing and watching<br />

sports might be better suited to a wider FOW.


PORTABILITY - SIZE<br />

AND WEIGHT<br />

There are an incredible amount of <strong>binoculars</strong> on the market. They<br />

come in every shape and size. It is crucial that you buy a pair that will<br />

suit your needs. You don't want to go travelling with a big and bulky<br />

pair. You don't want to be stuck with a compact bino with too little<br />

magnification when you are out hunting.<br />

As with many of the other factors, you will have to find the perfect<br />

balance <strong>for</strong> your use. Some of the more compact designs, like the<br />

Canon 10x30 IS Ultra-Compact weigh in at just 21ounces. The Canon<br />

only offers 10x30, while the heavier Vortex Diamondback offers<br />

10x42 magnification.


These multiple coatings offer a whole<br />

bunch of benefits, some of these are:<br />

• Promote superior contrast<br />

• Increase in brightness and clarity<br />

• Enhance light<br />

• Keep images true to colour<br />

• Protects the lenses from scratching<br />

• Makes lenses easier to clean<br />

COATING


EXTRA-LOW<br />

DISPERSION (ED)<br />

GLASS<br />

For the serious binocular enthusiast, ED or extra-low<br />

dispersion glass is a must.<br />

ED glass does vary in quality as there is no industry standard.<br />

A bino with good quality ED glass will reduce chromatic<br />

abberation.<br />

Chromatic abberation is BIG word. It reduces the difference in<br />

wavelength in the image you are viewing.<br />

Bino's with ED glass will reduce <strong>this</strong> effect, <strong>for</strong> a clearer image with<br />

better contrast and high resolution colour.?<br />

Is ED necessary <strong>for</strong> all bino users? No, it definitely is not. A good allround<br />

af<strong>for</strong>dable binocular with ED glass is the Vanguard Endeavour<br />

10x42.


TWILIGHT<br />

FACTOR?<br />

The twilight factor refers to image sharpness and image<br />

detail in low light conditions. A larger twilight factor will<br />

result in a sharper, brighter image in low light conditions.<br />

The picture below shows the difference between a low<br />

and high twilight factor bino.


WHAT DO NUMBERS<br />

MEAN IN BINOCULARS?<br />

Binoculars usually have two numbers such as 7×50 and<br />

16×50. The number be<strong>for</strong>e the × is the magnification<br />

power, while the number after the × is the diameter of the<br />

objective lens in mm.<br />

The first number indicates how the objects will be<br />

magnified. For instance, <strong>binoculars</strong> with a 16×50 lens will<br />

make objects appear 16 times closer.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e, if you were viewing objects from longer<br />

distances, <strong>binoculars</strong> with great magnification power<br />

would be ideal.
