How Do I Choose Binoculars?

A common question we get from our customers is “Which binoculars should I buy?” With so many choices and so many uses, this is not an easy question to answer. Selecting a pair of birding binoculars is not the same as choosing the right stargazing binoculars. Customers should have an idea of what activities they will use the optics for, the conditions they expect to find out in the field, what features are desired, and the budget one has to spend on optics.

Binoculars are divided into two major types:

Porro prism binoculars - porro prism binoculars use triangular-shaped internal glass prisms to reflect the image twice before exiting the binocular body. These binoculars are less expensive to manufacture than other types, but exhibit great optical qualities for those on tight budgets. Their drawbacks are that they tend to be heavier less durable than other types and harder to waterproof. Good examples are the child-friendly Kowa YF II 6x30 binoculars or the Pentax Papillio II 6.5x21 reverse porro prism binoculars, which are designed for getting close-up views of butterflies and other insects.

Roof prism binoculars - roof prism binoculars use polygon-shaped internal glass prisms where two of the faces meet at a 90-degree angle. For the same optical quality, binoculars equipped with these prisms tend to be substantially lighter and more durable. Roof prisms are found in the most expensive binocular brands and models due to their tendency toward improved optical clarity and image reproduction. Some good examples of more expensive roof prism binoculars include the Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 binoculars or the Swarovski NL Pure 8x42 Binoculars.

Binoculars come with power ratings - or the magnification they possess. The higher the magnification, the more detailed images a user can view. Higher numbers also mean a narrower field of view. Low power binoculars are great for wide viewing areas but at the expense of detail and low light performance.

A specification important to birders, butterfly observers, and dragonfly observers is close focus ability. When you’re looking at small things it helps to get as close as possible. Most birders and all insect viewers prefer binoculars with a close focus around 6 feet or less. An excellent close focus binocular is the Kowa BD II XD 8x32 Prominar Binoculars with a close focus of 4.25 ft.

Another phrase you might hear is “exit pupil”. This is the size of the image at the focusing point of the binocular, and is calculated by dividing the objective lens size by the magnification. Larger exit pupils make it easier to keep the image over your pupils if your hands are shaky or you are on rough water.

There are many other aspects involved in choosing binoculars, such as their waterproofing, the optical coatings, ease of focus, and eye relief or the distance at which the binoculars are designed to be held away from the eye. Longer eye relief models are great for users who wear eyeglasses.
