With the beginning of spring migration it is time to consider investing in new binoculars. Compact Nikon binoculars are the handiest and most versatile of all optical instruments I have used.
Knowing what you will be using the binoculars for will give you a specific type of binoculars to look for. Tasco binoculars, Bushnell binoculars and Nikon binoculars are three of the most popular brands in the marketplace. Using binoculars, the avid birdwatcher can be sure he really saw the rare Bonaparte s Nightjar or Pink-Headed Fruit Dove, not just another sparrow or bluebird.
Numbers are used to describe the telescopic strength of the binoculars. In live theaters and concerts, audience members sitting in the back rows away from the stage use binoculars to get a better view of the stage. Another important number describing binoculars is called field-of-view.
Field-of-view is determined by magnification and the focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece lenses. If you are only going to spend a couple of hundred dollars for binoculars don't even bother to look at the higher priced pairs. Each group enjoys the beauty of the sky and they appreciate the gentle relaxation gained by watching the stars.
Make sure you look at the len's coating when making your purchase of binoculars. Adding optional features and devices will also increase the cost but may be worth considering.
