People from all age groups buy binoculars. This article is intended to help cut through some of the confusion on getting a good pair of binoculars.
I originally purchased the Monarch 10x50's for bird-watching and long range mountain scanning in Arizona, however, I found the extra sharpness of the 8X resolution meant that I didn't need the larger 10X magnification, because they had such excellent detail. As an experienced wildlife photographer my top priority was optical quality, and I did alot of research before deciding on this pair. Pre-moistened lens cloths give safe protection to your lens.
Some of the greatest things you can see with a telescope are the moon and its craters. Such lens cloths take even fingerprints and stains of all sorts off your binocular lens. Binoculars with larger fields of view may work better, but the cost is considerably more.
Waterproof construction eliminates potential damage due to wet conditions. One of the most significant advances in optics is in water and fog proofing. Coupled with the size of the objective is the light gathering ability of the lens and the field of view.
Enjoy you view! Binoculars are a key piece of equipment outdoors.
