What are the best brands? I’d prefer smaller than bigger, but wouldn’t mind sacrificing size for quality.

Binoculars are better for viewing general objects than telescopes because they are basically two telescopes smacked together which allow for greater depth perception.

Binoculars have been around since the 1600’s century after telescopes have been invented. People use to connect two telescopes together and in able to see with both eyes.

During the 1800’s a porro prism binoculars were created that enabled greater depth perception and also spaced the eye pieces wider apart. These binoculars were more powerful than the standard ones before then.

The cheapest binoculars are porro prisms that create detailed images and good color views. These are big and wide and sometimes need to be re adjusted to work properly.

A more costly pair of prism binoculars are roof prism binocular. These binoculars are lighter and smaller but lose some light. An advantage to them is that they usually never have to be re-adjusted. These binoculars weigh much less. Many roof prism binoculars have coated lenses.

Coated Lenses help make a bright image by reducing the amount of light that reflects. With out this, the binoculars will create a hazy picture.

Most Binoculars are focused by moving a round wheel that focuses both eye pieces at once. More complicated binoculars require independent focus which requires each eye piece to be focused separately.

More expensive binoculars have image stabilization which dampen sudden movement. This means that binoculars with high magnification can be hand held when normally they couldn’t. This feature is very expensive.

Coin-op binoculars can be found at many tourist attractions. These are always on a tripod or bipod.

Military Binoculars are at a magnification 7x. Military binoculars are tougher than other binoculars and they also use independent focusing because it is more sturdy . Most military binoculars also have special features that help it work while wet. Boating binoculars are meant to be easier on the eyes so you don’t get sea sick.

Astronomy Binoculars help you to view far away elements in the sky from far away. There are a lot of different planets like Pluto that can be seen with binoculars. It is nice to look with a lower powered binoculars because they have larger field of view.

I hope that you will come to see how great looking at the stars can be with binoculars. No matter what kind of binoculars you chose to buy, the most important thing out there is that you enjoy what you are using them for. You can still have fun with a $100 pair of binoculars if you enjoy looking at the stars with your kids. Teaching your kid’s about the big dipper is something you will never forget.

Optics workers will tell you they are often asked to recommend the best binocular for birders (bird watchers) To match the binocular to the birder it helps to first look at the needs of the birding enthusiast.

What sort of optical demands must we consider? Well for one thing the birder need to see details like the patterns and color of feathers, often in dim light such as under a tree canopy or in twilight. They need good magnification so that they can easily identify birds at a distance and sometimes they will want to observe birds at very short distances so they want their binoculars to work for close focus observing too, maybe even down to just a few meters.

They need true color viewing so they can see everything as it really is colored and not with any tint or false color. They also need a reasonable field of view so they can observe birds in flight easily and be able to pick birds out from the surrounding trees.

They want the binoculars to be light enough to carry and hang on a neck-strap. Their binoculars should be light enough to hold comfortably for viewing and easy enough on the eyes to be able to use for long periods. Birders usually want their binoculars to be compact enough to pack in a rucksack. For observing from hides they often want to use their binoculars on a tripod or mono-pod so a fitting for these adapters is advisable. If their bird watching is in the wilderness then rugged construction and some element of waterproofing and fog-proofing is also advisable.

When looking at binocular specifications we usually pay most attention to the two numbers that define the basic specifications. The first number gives us the magnification factor, so an 8x binocular magnifies an image (brings it closer) by 8 times. The higher the magnification the more difficult it becomes to use the binoculars effectively due to the natural hand-shake which makes it difficult to keep the bird in view and also the smaller the field of view will be. For birding use, an 8x binocular is the most commonly used though in some circumstances enthusiasts will use higher magnification.

The second number in the specs tells us the diameter of the objective lens. This is important for two reasons, firstly the larger the diameter the more light is captured by the binocular so the clearer and brighter the resulting image. Secondly, the larger diameter also gives a larger field of view. In the birding world, the most popular objectives are 40mm and 42mm. Getting much higher than this makes the binocular a little too heavy and large.

Other important considerations are the quality of the lenses and prisms and the optical coatings used on those elements. These coatings reduce loss of light through reflection from the binocular and its internal components and they help to preserve good clarity and true color throughput. As a rule of thumb look for Fully-Multi-Coated (FMC) coatings for bird watching use. The specification for eye relief refers to the distance between the eyepiece and the eye. Those who wear glasses will need a longer eye relief to allow for the extra distance caused by the glasses being between the binocular and their eye.

Roof and Porro Prism designs refer to the two body styles of binoculars. This difference comes about through the placement of the internal prisms within the binocular body. Roof prism types are the more compact and modern looking. Their objective lenses are more or less in line with the eyepieces, while porro prism types are the traditional style with the lenses stepped out from the line of the eyepieces. More and more birding enthusiasts are now opting for the roof prism type particularly as their quality has caught up with the porro types in recent years.
