Product Information

Will they suffice or do you need a more expensive pair? That depends on what you're after. Equipped with 10x magnification and 50mm objective lenses, the UpClose G2 10x50 are both powerful and fast, offering plenty of magnification and also able to collect a lot of light. Keep in mind that the more an image is magnified, the harder it will be to keep that image steady. Many users find a magnification of 8 or 10 to be the highest that they can keep steady with their hands before a tripod or another type of platform is needed. A pair of binoculars with 20 times magnification would likely benefit from a tripod. Objective Lens Diameter

Made from drop and splash resistant materials this binocular is made from aluminium and offers an 8x magnification level ideal for viewing detail, clarity and fast focusing. Nitrogen filling prevents fogging while the design is slim and simple. An extendable eye relief provides comfort for spectacle wearers, as do a dioptric adjustment ring, flip-down lens cap, and a new strap mount. A 15-year warranty provides extra peace of mind.Not compatible with #93648 Off-Axis Guider, not compatible with #93519 2" Mirror Diagonal (discontinued)

The listed magnification power (the first number in the formula) indicates how many times larger an image appears through the ocular lenses than it does with an unaided eye. In the case of the formula 20×50, a pair of binoculars with this magnification would produce an image that is 20 times larger than what you would see with your eyes alone.Any pair of binoculars can be used to view from any distance. Either close or far. The binoculars automatically adjust the “zoom” so all you normally do is adjust the focus wheel. If using binoculars with low magnification you will be able to enjoy a wider field of view. If using binoculars with high magnification you will see a more narrow view but in more detail. Regarding the binoculars you had, these are called “Zoom Binoculars”. They offer a few levels of magnification. We have a few models of zoom binoculars here on Procular. If you are viewing from a fixed location (bedroom) and looking from about 1 mile then we can recommend the Celestron 20-100×70 SkyMaster binoculars. They are zoom binoculars with 20x to 100x magnification and large 70mm lenses. The large lenses allow you to see in low light which is great for star gazing or looking at the moon. The variable magnification works via a zoom lever – same as the ones you had. Details below: However, if you were to compare this to the Viking Kestrel ED 10x42 then the results would be different. This is due to the Viking Kestrel ED binoculars utilising Extra-low Dispersion glass. The use of this glass guarantees the highest possible results - regardless of the size.This results in these binoculars being available at a higher price in comparison to standard binoculars. Therefore, if you wish to maximise the overall quality, then opting for ED binoculars is the way to go. This model of binoculars is the best quality of the others I am going to talk about, and yes, also the most expensive, but as soon as you get to know its features you will understand why. Still, if the best-quality image is important to you, they’re fantastic for the money and represent a big step up from the cheaper Olympus 10×25 and RSPB Puffin 8×32 models below.

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. 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. Binoculars all provide a wider view than telescopes or monoculars for example, because of their double eyepieces vs. only single for other scopes. But the more magnification you have, the narrower your view will be. The Celestron 25×70 for example are very high powered binoculars so have a narrow view.Fogproofing: To prevent binoculars from fogging up when transitioning from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors, manufacturers fill their binoculars with an inert gas (usually argon or nitrogen) that has no water content and thus inhibits condensation.
