These are the best all-around specs for general use binoculars.

The second number in a binocular size is the aperture, or the diameter. This refers to the lens farthest from your eyes that faces what you’re looking at. In a pair of binoculars listed as 8x42, each lens is 42mm across. A wider lens can take in more light. More light means, unsurprisingly, a brighter view. This is particularly important if you’re trying to use your binoculars in low-light conditions, like at dawn, dusk, or night, or if you aim to use them to look up at the stars. Of course, the wider the lens, the bigger, heavier, and more cumbersome the binoculars become. They’re cheaper, too, than the Trailseekers and feel better made, with a smoother focus dial and longer 22mm eye relief, so they’re better for glasses wearers, although we’re not too keen on the cheap-feeling lens caps.

Otherwise, if you often view from very long distance then you can just get high powered binoculars (16x to 25x). Here are the most recommended models: Will they suffice or do you need a more expensive pair? That depends on what you're after.

So it’s up to you to make sure you can see everything much closer and sharper from now on. You can also visit other articles we have covered on Lens Reviewed to know more. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Are 20×50 Binoculars Good? The 10x42 binoculars are certainly the most cost-effective option and provide a more convenient build design. When using these binoculars in a good light conditions, they will match the quality output of the 10x50 binoculars. Whilst there may be some colour fringing, this really is not noticeable - especially in bright environments. These binoculars are perfectly suitable for birdwatching and general observations. If you are looking for a pair of binoculars for general use, then the 10x42 binoculars are a great choice.Field-of-view ( FOV) is another important point to consider when deciding which option is best. As both models provide a 10x magnification zoom, this will limit how wide the FOV can be. The Viking Badger 10x50 binoculars provide a FOV of 5.2°. This is a fairly narrow FOV though balanced out with the 10x magnification zoom available. In comparison, the Viking Badger 10x42 offers an FOV of 6.44°which is considerably wider. This ideally makes them more suitable for bird watching by making it easier to follow the target. As you shop for binoculars, you’ll see that each pair has a spec listed in this number x number formula. The first number in this equation indicates the magnification power that the optics provide. The second number indicates the objective lens diameter for the binoculars. These numbers, taken individually or together, can tell you a lot about the viewing quality of that particular model. Magnification 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. Binoculars have several lenses inside every barrel. Each of these lenses goes through a special multi-coating process. Lower priced lines of binoculars will only have this process done on the objective lenses. The highest end models will have a fully-mulitcoting on every single lens. In the case of European brands such as Zeiss, Leica and Swarovski they achieve the highest level of light intakes using these processes. In other words the binoculars will have a much nicer, sharper and brighter image. This is mainly noticeable in low light conditions (fog, rain, early mornings etc.).
