Tips, Tricks & Info

BINOCULARS

Indoors and out, for viewers young and old, binoculars enhance the enjoyment of any sporting activity. They are essential gear for concerts, sports events, hiking, a day in the field and sight-seeing expeditions. Bushnell is known the world over for our wide range of durable and reliable binoculars with models for virtually every type of activity.

Binoculars always come in handy - whether you're an avid hunter or an occasional theater-goer. They are essential gear for camping and hiking, a day in the field or a vacation trip to the grand canyon. Choosing the best binocular for your needs isn't always easy. Consider when, where and how often you plan to use them in order to select a binocular with a combination of features that are right for you.


MAGNIFICATION (POWER)
Binoculars are often referred to by two numbers separated with an "x". For example; 8x32. The first number is the power or magnification of the binocular. With an 8x32 binocular, the object being viewed appears to be eight times closer than you would see it with the unaided eye.

OBJECTIVE LENS SIZE
The second number in the formula (8x32) is the diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image.
