Choosing the right binoculars is a very personal choice - only you can decide between performance and price. Ultimately, you should feel comfortable using your chosen binoculars and should not be overly concerned with styling and features.

What do the figures mean?
All binoculars have a set ot two figures indicating their specification, for instance 10 x 40. The first figure refers to the magnification, which is typically between 7x and 10x.
The second figure describes the diameter of the large lens in millimetres. Generally speaking, the larger this lens is, the greater amount of light will be gathered and therefore, the brighter and clearer the image.
The field of view is expressed as a degree (e.g. 7.0).
