Binoculars for birding
Here’s a quick lesson on reading the numbers on your binoculars:
The first number refers to the magnification, or power, of your lenses. Most birders use an 8x or 10x power binocular. Some like the extra magnification that a 10x binocular gives, but a higher magnification also magnifies shake and narrows field of view.
The second number refers to the brightness of your lenses. A higher number gives a brighter, more detailed image and is better in lower light conditions. Most birders use between 32 and 42 mm. This provides a good compromise between weight and clarity without sacrificing field of view.
It’s always a good idea to try a few pairs out to see what fits you best.
