best price on binoculars - these are the fundamentals you should know

With the beginning of spring migration it is time to consider investing in new binoculars. Binoculars come in different sizes and shapes to suit different purposes.

First, determine just how and under what circumstances you will be using your new binoculars. There are small as well as giant binoculars. When hiking or orienteering, binoculars will be very useful, but it is important to note that optics are very fragile, and so plastic lenses over glass ones, and a rugged case are probably going to be more important than high power, or the ability to use them at night.

Lens caps very often get misplaced, so binocular companies attach lens caps to the binocular. There are giant binoculars available with higher magnifications and apertures which are designed for astronomy use but you will certainly need a sturdy tripod or mount to use them. Prices of modern day monoculars range from the most expensive to very cheap.

Distance measuring is important, but binoculars with a wide field of view allow you to see a larger picture, and keep an eye on several objects at once. This may sound obvious, but you need to buy binoculars that are comfortable. There are models available that allow you to do more than just look.

Binoculars should last for many years to come. If you are going on a long trip, binoculars will be excellent entertainment for kids.
