Close focus: Great for spotting insects and inspecting flowers from close range. The best binoculars let you focus from as close as 1.5m away. We can understand your comment about your other pair of binoculars, 30-160×70. These are variable zoom binoculars. This type of binoculars very often delivers a poor image quality and difficulties in focusing. Similar binoculars to your good ones (Nikon 15×80) would be the Celestron high powered models of binoculars. We have quite a few of them on offer. They have good magnification and large lenses like your Nikon’s for brighter images. Will you be using the binoculars on a tripod or handheld? If you need a similar pair to be used for viewing ships and boats at sea but without the use of a tripod we can recommend the Celestron 15×70 binoculars below: But it is not as nice and sharp as the view you will get from similar 8×42 or 10×42 binoculars. We find that most of our customers are happy with a good quality 10×42 pair as it has enough power to see clearly yet not too much magnification to cause an unstable (shaky) image. A good all-around 10×42 pair we can recommend is the Avalon 10×42 PRO HD binoculars below: Prisms: These flip the image right side up within a lens; without them, images would come through upside-down. Prisms also shorten the optical path, resulting in closer images. There are two types. Porro prisms are inexpensive but often only fit in larger binoculars, since the eyepiece is offset from the binocular tube to allow more room for prisms to flip the image on the way to your eye. Roof prisms make for slimmer binoculars, but they’re usually more expensive due to their more complicated manufacturing, allowing the prism to align with the eyepiece and the binocular tube. Eye Relief: The distance between your eyes and the binocular eyepiece lenses. If you wear glasses, look for a larger Eye Relief number to allow for more space between your glasses and the binoculars.
I think that with everything I have told you here and with the binoculars I have presented to you, you should be more or less clear about which model suits you best. In short, the best magnification is 10x – or more accurately 10×42 binoculars which magnify at 10x times and have medium sized 42mm lenses. With 10x magnification you can view subjects clearly from either near or far and achieve a stable image. That said, there are binoculars that magnify at 12x, 16x or even 25x. They allow you to see more detail from further away but the image shakes. This can be solved by using a tripod.
ACCESSORIES
You are very correct. Zoom binoculars tend to have an inferior image quality than fixed magnification binoculars which is why most people stay away from them. If you are after compact binoculars then the Nikon Aculon 8-24×25 have a nice image in all zoom settings. Details below: My only complaint is that the focus adjust wheel is a little stiff and needs a fair bit of effort to shift. Oddly, the diopter adjustment wheel, which is handily located just behind it, is far easier to tweak. Waterproofing: You’re going to be using your binoculars outside so it’s best to be sure that they won’t let in water if you’re caught in a rain shower. They’ll fog up and condensation will form on the inner surfaces if this happens. For those long range views this model gives you 20X magnification, being light to use and comfortable to focus. It has a 50mm objective lens that’s ideal for smooth, sharp observing.
Deciding on which option is the best for you really comes down to personal preference. If you are planning on using these binoculars during a hike, then perhaps the 10x42 binoculars are the right choice. This strikes a fine balance between the overall weight and the quality that they can offer. However, the 10x50 binoculars would flourish with activities such as bird watching and stargazing.What’s most impressive, though, is the range of accessories on offer here, with a neoprene-padded strap, high-quality carry bag, lens cleaning cloth and even a shoulder harness all supplied in the box. Among the different brands and models that exist today I have selected models of 20×50 binoculars to present to you in detail and from there you can decide which is the best 20×50 binoculars. 1) Celestron UPClose G2 – Best Value for Money Best binoculars for horse racing and other sports: Sports tend to happen during the day, so a bright objective lens is less of a concern. Something like an 8x30 will hit the spot, as the 8x magnification should be plenty to see what's going on from the stand. There's no point getting something big and heavy if you don't need it!
In fact, the field of view is so wide – on the 10×42 it’s 7.6-degrees and the same as older EL 8.5×42 – that you can step up in magnification without the usual pitfalls of doing so. We generally prefer 8x binoculars over 10x or 12x binoculars because, normally, they strike a better balance between magnification and field of view. These binoculars, however, give you the best of both worlds. The 8x NL Pure have an even wider field of view at a frankly unbelievable 9.1-degrees. Otherwise, if you often view from very long distance then you can just get high powered binoculars (16x to 25x). Here are the most recommended models: recommends reaching for 8x42 binoculars for a crisp, bright image. However, “if you have small hands or are concerned about weight, there are also very good, more compact options in 8x32 binoculars.” And on the other hand, the objective lens of this binocular is 50 mm, which will allow a very good entry of light, so you will be able to see the details much better, more defined and sharper. What Is the Price of 20×50 Binoculars? These are roof prism binoculars, waterproof and although they don’t use extra low dispersion glass (ED) like the Nikons, the glass is fully multi-coated to reduce flare and glare. These are also fully waterproof to the extent that they can be submerged in up to 3m of water. Throw in a 30-year warranty and you have a pair of binoculars that are likely to last you a long time.Both binoculars can be used for whale watching from the balcony. The main question is how far away the whales are. If you can see them already without binoculars, i.e. clearly see there are whales out there, and you only need an enhanced view then the Avalon 10×42 will work fine. It has the advantage that you can use these binoculars for other occasions too. But if the whales are often very far away, i.e. over 2 miles out at sea, then the Celestron 20×50 will work much better. Note that they are harder to use due to the stronger magnification but once you are looking at the whale you will defiantly see it in more detail. If your main use for the binoculars is indeed to look at whales and very distant subjects (boats, ships etc.) then the Celestron 20×50 is the right choice. Field-of-view ( FOV) is another important point to consider when deciding which option is best. As both models provide a 10x magnification zoom, this will limit how wide the FOV can be. The Viking Badger 10x50 binoculars provide a FOV of 5.2°. This is a fairly narrow FOV though balanced out with the 10x magnification zoom available. In comparison, the Viking Badger 10x42 offers an FOV of 6.44°which is considerably wider. This ideally makes them more suitable for bird watching by making it easier to follow the target. For example, the Viking Badger 10x50 binoculars offer a superior quality over the 10x42 version due to the larger lenses. These binoculars offer the same build design and glass for the optics. Therefore, the only real difference that can be found is with how much light is taken in. Even with this increase in light, there are no guarantees that the difference would even be noticeable. Despite this, there are some scenarios where the 10x50 binoculars really do shine. If you were to use these binoculars in low-light conditions then the extra light transmission would certainly be beneficial.
