Binoculars in all shapes and sizes

Which binoculars are most suitable for you depends, among other things, on your budget and what exactly you want with the binoculars. Normally, of course, the better the viewer’s performance, the more you pay. Binoculars also differ from each other on the following points:

  • Format
  • Field of view
  • Aperture
  • Focus distance
  • Magnification

First of all, there are variations in the format. You have very small binoculars that you can easily take in hand and much larger binoculars that will just fit in your hands. The smaller binoculars naturally have the advantage that you can easily take them with you and are easy to use. The disadvantage is usually the smaller field of view and / or the smaller opening. The focusing distance also differs per viewer. The so-called butterfly viewer, for example, has a focusing distance from 0.5 meters. In addition, there are differences in magnification. Most common is an 8x or 10x magnification.

Which binoculars you find most comfortable to use is a matter of personal taste. One person finds a small viewer comfortable, the other likes to have a little more control. It is therefore good to thoroughly orientate yourself before purchasing!
