Explanations for selecting the right binocular magnification

The Magnification of binoculars-This is perhaps the most misunderstood feature. High magnification can be useful! But magnification in itself is by no means a criterion for the quality, image quality or detail recognition ability of binoculars!

The "first" number (e.g. 10x..) of an optical system stands for the magnification. At a magnification of 10x, for example, an animal observed at a distance of 100 metres appears as if we were looking at it from a distance of 10 metres. Details can thus be clearly recognised. In practice, the Highest magnification not always the best choice. Excessive magnification can significantly impair the recognisability of details if the Factor of hand restlessness (which is also enlarged) is not taken into account.

Individual perception of people

Varying from person to person, you should test this behaviour before buying. The magnification counteracts the image brightness and must be replaced by a larger Lens be compensated. The Lens diameterGlass material, Remuneration and the quality of the entire optics determine the quality of the optics and thus the ability to recognise small details in true colour and with brilliant images.

The Disadvantages of binoculars with high magnification (e.g. 16x or 20x) are: it is very difficult to produce a steady image over a longer period of time during observation and the field of view is relatively small. Binoculars with magnifications above 12x are generally no longer recommended for use without a tripod.
