How to choose a good pair of binoculars?
The following are some factors to consider when choosing a pair of perma focus binoculars:-
- For steady hand-held observations, choose a pair of binoculars that has a magnification of not more than 9 times. This brings objects 9 times closer to you and is the optimum magnification for all hand-held binoculars. Higher magnifications of 10x or more require very steady hands or a tripod, especially on a boat or other moving vehicles. A mounted binoculars will be less flexible to use.
- Binoculars with objective lenses of 50mm or more allows for higher light penetration and therefore, brighter and clearer images.
- Wide angle field of view – Offers a wider viewing area.
- Multi-coated optics – Renders images with higher contrast for clearer viewing.
- Rubber eye-cups – Allows for comfortable viewing with the naked eyes or with eye-glasses on.
- Rubber-armored body – Offers protection for the binoculars and a secure grip for the viewer.
- Light Weight – Make sure it is light enough for you to hold for an extended period of time. Otherwise, you may need to mount the binoculars on a tripod.
For general observations, the compact or mid-sized Bushnell Perma Focus binoculars should be sufficient. For wide-angle viewing, the 3 larger models are good candidates to consider.
