Best Binoculars for the Money- A Complete Buyer Guide

Unless you are already a Pro at binoculars and have developed a taste for some type of brands only, if not you will agree with me that choosing the right binoculars is a tedious task. The problem is there are many manufacturers in the market and getting the best binoculars for the money can take some time and research.

Furthermore, every now and then new models are released and it’s hard to make a decision on which one sometimes. If you are like me, I always want to get the best value for my money. Not only that but sometimes you are on a tight budget which puts a limit on how much you can spend on these devices.

After long hours of research and taking into consideration users feedback, I have come up with the best value binoculars to add to your outdoor adventure list.  Let us look at what to look for when choosing binoculars for those who may not already know.

The Best Binoculars For The Money

How to Choose the Binoculars-Factors to Consider

Here are the specifications you need to look at when selecting the best binoculars. They are guides to help you choose the pair that you will enjoy using for a long time.

  • Magnification

The magnifying power of the binoculars is how much bigger it makes the target you are looking at appear. Even though by this saying some people may think – ok, that means I  have to choose the highest magnification I can possibly find in the market, it all depends on what you are using them for. also keep in mind that the higher the magnification, the narrow your field of view will be.

The binocular magnification and its objective lens size are typically found printed on either the body or the focus wheel of the binoculars. An example of such a pair of numbers: “8×42”. the magnification for such binocular is the “8×”. This means the target object will appear eight times bigger than your naked eyes would have seen.

One thing to keep in mind when choosing binoculars is that binocular magnification from any number up to 10 times is easier to hold with hands and still get a steady image. But if you go for magnification higher than 10, you have to consider a tripod or they must be image-stabilized, because, the higher the magnification, the more amplified body movements like handshakes become thereby producing unsteady images.

  • Objective Lens Size

This number is usually quoted hand in hand with the magnification. From the example above, the objective lens size is the “42”. This number is indicated in millimeters. The objective lens diameter tells you how much light the binocular can gather from the target – It is the light gathering ability of the binocular.

The more lights the binocular can gather from the target, the brighter, clearer and crisp the image will appear. This means that the bigger the objective lens, the more lights it will be able to collect. The downside of a bigger objective lens size is that it makes the binoculars heavy and bulky.

  • Field of View

The field of view tells how much area you can see when you look through the binoculars. As mentioned earlier, the field of view is often affected by both the magnification and the objective lens size. The higher the magnification the smaller the field of view will be.

The bigger the objective lens the bigger the field of view. bigger field of view is preferred over smaller because with the bigger field of view, you are able to see a bigger area of whatever it is that you are viewing.

You might find manufacturers quote two field of views that is the apparent and actual field of view. The one that actually matters is the actual field of view. This number is often quoted in either degrees, feet or meters.

  • Eye Relief

The eye relief is the distance your eyes should be from the eyepiece for you to see the entire field of view. This number shouldn’t be a problem for non-glass wearers but if you are eyeglass wearer, it is a feature to consider before you make a purchase.

This is because your glasses will create extra distance between your eyes and the binocular eyepiece. Long eye relief is recommended for glass wearers. Binoculars with an eye relief of 16mm and above should be comfortable for those who wear glasses.

People who don’t wear glasses while viewing through their binoculars can get away with shorter eye relief distance but if you can’t view your binoculars without glasses at all, then you should go for longer eye relief otherwise you will lose on the field of view. You won’t be able to see the entire field of view.

  • Exit Pupil

The exit pupil diameter is the measure of the size of the ray of light that will hit your eyes after it travels through the lens. This number determines the brightness that your binoculars will provide especially under low light conditions like dusk or dawn.

This number is obtained by dividing the objective lens diameter by the magnification. The bigger the number you obtain the brighter the image will appear. Let’s take the example I used above, “8×42”. The exit pupil will be 42/8 = 5,25 mm. The exit pupil is the 5.25mm. This good for even low light conditions. The bigger this number is the matter. During the day this number isn’t that super important than at night.

if you choose a bigger magnification, then the objective lens should be bigger as well to give a good exit pupil. This will give you a clearer and brighter image at low light conditions.

  • Weatherproof( Waterproof / Fog Proof)

Weatherproof binoculars are favored more. Sometimes the weather can be unpredictable and the environment in which you might be using your binoculars can be harsh. Weather conditions like rain, dust, snow can damage your binos.

Manufacturers often O-ring seal and use gases like nitrogen or argon to purge the binoculars to prevent fog build-ups and water damage by making them water-resistant. This enables you to use such binoculars in extreme weather conditions without fear that they might get damaged by water or the lens will fog up.

It is particularly important to have binoculars that are waterproof and fog proof if you are using them in humid or water environments.

  • Weight

Weight is particularly important if you are going to carry your binos around for long periods of time. If they are heavy, you will easily get tired, especially if you are walking a long distance with them. Heavy binoculars can affect your level of comfort will viewing through them with your hands because your hands can easily get tired.

Luckily for us, these days manufacturers are finding ways to reduce the weight and size of binoculars just still maintaining quality. Today, you can find powerful binoculars that are lightweight but they come at a price.

  • Lens and Prism Coatings

Lens coatings come in different degrees. The more lens coatings that are applied the better the optical quality. Lens coating is applied to ensure maximum light transmission and absorptions to reduce the reflections that happen when the lights pass through the lenses. When this is done, a brighter, clearer and sharper image is obtained.

The image quality is highly dependent on the quality of the lenses and prisms used in the binoculars. These days, you will find different lenses and prism coated binoculars in the market. Below are the coatings types: The more coating layers the better.

  • Coated: one or more surfaces coated with a single layer.
  • Fully coated: all air-to-glass surfaces are coated with a single layer.
  • Multi-coated: one or more surfaces coated with multiple layers.
  • Fully multi-coated: all air-to-glass surfaces are coated with multiple layers.

In addition, anti-reflective coatings and phase correction coatings are also applied to the prisms. These coatings are applied to minimize reflections and distortions. Phase correction coating is usually applied to roof prism binoculars.
