| | How to Buy The Right Binoculars For YouWritten by Duane Brown
Binoculars are wonderful pieces of equipment that can enhance many of our daily activities including, birding, action sports, hunting, and even astronomy. Essentially binoculars take a distant image, enlarge it through use of lenses for viewing, all while remaining small and light enough to be mobile.The actual makeup of most binoculars is fairly straightforward and simple. You have lenses at end of barrel called objective lens that gathers light from distant image and focuses it on lens closest to your eyes for viewing. Binoculars are really two small telescopes put side by side so that you can view desired image with both eyes instead of just one. This imparts some measure of depth of field, much more so than with a single scope. When selecting a pair of binoculars you will immediately find that two numbers are used to describe their capability. These numbers are often expressed as "6 X 30" or something similar. Let's break code so you will know what these numbers mean. The first number refers to magnification power of binoculars, or in other words how many times image is magnified. So if number is 6, that means that image that you view through lens is magnified 6 times it's normal siZe. The second number has to do with size of objective lens at end of binoculars.It's good to know this number because larger diameter of objective lens, usually more light will be let in for viewing distant image. Now, let's put this information in use in real world. You may think that it's best to just get highest magnification that you can get for binoculars, but this is not true. At some point, hand holding binoculars will affect clarity of a highly magnified image and resulting shake will render magnification benefits useless. Generally speaking, anything above ten times magnification should be mounted on a tripod instead of handheld. So if you are planning to use binoculars for activities that do not allow you to be able to bring along a sturdy tripod, you probably want to stay with a pair of binoculars with 4 -7 times magnification.
