binocular reviews the easy way

If you love bird watching, then a pair of binoculars with a wide field of view and a fully multicoated optics may just fit your needs. Think about it, binoculars are inexpensive, highly portable and require no complicated setting up procedure.

Binoculars provide three dimensional images that have more depth. If you bird by sitting in a favorite spot, then larger binoculars could be your choice. All other things being equal, the larger the objective diameter, the brighter the image you see through the binoculars.

So if you have a pair of binoculars with 8x magnification, they should have an objective diameter of 40. A field-of-view of 390' indicates that the width of the sight picture is 390 feet at a distance of 1000 yards. If the lens cloth is not a one-time use variety, it should be cleaned lightly and thoroughly before each use and should be kept in a clean and dust-free bag.

The feel of your new binoculars should be somewhat light but not too much. Hunter's binoculars are now being designed with range finders and birdwatchers are seeing more of the increasing stabilization features they need in the latest birdwatching binoculars.
