You won't be able to go to a sports game, a show or concert or even to the beach without them. Before you go looking for a pair of binoculars you need to sit down and decide what you will be using your new binoculars for.
Two views are drawn together to make one total picture and allow the viewer to see things at some distances up close and personal. Birdwatchers use binoculars to find those fast flying rare birds as they hum through the sky. All light transmitting surfaces are covered with multi-coating to increase brightness.
The lens size does not indicate lens quality, however the larger the lens size the brighter the view and the larger the field of vision. There are giant binoculars available with higher magnifications and apertures which are designed for astronomy use but you will certainly need a sturdy tripod or mount to use them. The first number gives the power of the magnification and the second number tells the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters which measures its light gathering strength.
Looking in the two to five hundred dollar range when buying binoculars is the best for your money. The larger the second number after the "x", the more light that enters the binocular and the image will become brighter. You need to feel comfortable using them, they should feel right in your hands, around your neck and up to your face.
Binoculars should last for many years to come. I hope these reviews and opinions help you in your research towards buying a new pair of binoculars, Nikon are a well established and respected company, and the Leupold range are just spectacular.
