Focusing on the Best Binoculars
29878 Home & Family > Hobbies Jun 20, 2007 dawlfin Focusing on the Best Binoculars If you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, you'll find that a good pair of binoculars can add a new and unexpected level of fun to a family vacation, scenic hike, fishing trip or other outdoor outing. Whether you're birdwatching, admiring natural wonders, or sightseeing at historical landmarks, binoculars bring distant details into vivid focus, revealing fascinating aspects of your surroundings that you'd otherwise miss. Fortunately for cost-conscious adventurers, a variety of high-quality binoculars are available for very reasonable prices - many well under $100. It's a good idea to start your binocular search by checking out models from such leading brands as Bushnell, Canon, Meade, Nikon, Olympus, Swarovski and Zeiss. Looking for binoculars for a specific pastime or hobby? Chances are there's a model designed precisely for your needs. Astronomical models with extremely high magnification and a large aperture for gathering faint starlight are available for amateur astronomers. These can be an excellent and affordable alternative to telescopes for backyard skywatchers. Boaters and anglers can choose from waterproof marine binoculars that will float if lost overboard. If you're into cave exploration, nighttime orienteering, or other low-light activities, then you should definitely look into a pair of night vision binoculars, which can illuminate and magnify a darkened landscape that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. And for birders and nature lovers, many light-weight, highly portable binoculars are available to bring distant wildlife into sharp focus. The level of magnification offered by a particular binocular is identified by a standard numeric measurement that combines the magnification level with the millimeter diameter of the light-gathering objective lens. So a binocular labeled as "7 X 50" will magnify objects 7 times and has a 50 millimeter objective lens. While the most basic models of binoculars offer a single, preset level of magnification, more advanced designs include zoom lenses which allow the user to switch quickly and easily between low and high magnification and back again. Some higher-end binoculars also include a laser range finder that provides precise measurement of distances to the objects being observed. And thanks to digital imaging technology, many combination camera-binocular models are available, with a compact, high-resolution digital camera integrated directly into the binocular design. Just zoom in on a distant object you'd like to photograph, press a button and you've captured a digital image to take home with you! Once you've made your choice of binoculars best suited to your viewing requirements, you should have no trouble finding a great deal at shopping sites like Amazon and eBay. With no shortage of dependable online merchants to choose from, your new binoculars are just a few clicks away!
