So, I don’t know if I should buy a night vision binocular or a regular one? And I don’t know if a night vision one will work in the morning or not? Finally, what magnification and width should I prefer?

This article covers the two most important groups of terms. The first group of terms or jargon involves the roof and porro prisms. The second of the two most important terms needed to learn to understand and to say are numbers rather than more words.  They are one small and one larger number separated by an â??xâ?. An example is 8 x 32.  Read the article and both words and numbers will all be explained to your satisfaction.

 

 

When one speaks of a binocular â??revolutionâ?, the reference is to all the manufacturers involved in producing numerous different models of binoculars.  What happened and when?  18-24 months ago, several well-established and highly respected manufacturers involved in the use of optics decided to use current new technology and mix it with the basic binoculars of the time.  At that time, binoculars differed mainly by their manufacturer, the actual size of the pair of binoculars, and their price, which was manufacturer notoriety dependent.

 

Now prior to 2 years, the selection of a pair of binoculars was quick and easy.  Now, however, if a consumer decided to look for a pair of binoculars for their specific needs, their task can quickly and suddenly become an overwhelming one.  A consumer now has to have a background (such as given to them in this article) on the new generation of binoculars, so that their pick will fulfill their needs.

 

Customers are now faced with choices of manufacturers, models, and functional types with prices ranging from a low of $30 to highs in the hundreds and thousands of dollars.  The best way to handle all this information is to simplify it so that the pair you buy is the pair you need.  Once you set out to learn the new terminology or jargon used to describe these binoculars, you will realize how lucky you are to have this new generation available.

 

All current types of binoculars can be divided into two groups: the porro prisms and the roof prisms.

 

The models in the porro prism category tend to be the more traditional looking pairs of binoculars with their lenses offset, while appearing as wide as they are long.  These same models tend to be heavier and bulkier.  One very positive aspect of porro prism model design is that they tend to let in more light than their counter parts.  This extra light produces sharper and brighter images.

 

On the other hand, roof prism binoculars look like the connection of two straight tubes.  The designs are much newer allowing for production of more compact binoculars.  Their lenses can still be fairly large, similar to the porro type binoculars.  Due to their newer designs, even with large lenses, the physical weight and size of these binoculars can still be greatly reduced.  On the whole, roof prisms tend to be small and lighter weight binoculars as compared to the slightly older and heavier porro cohorts.  To repeat, porro binoculars tend to produce sharper and brighter images than the lighter in weight, and smaller in size roof binoculars.

 

The second important jargon used to describe a pair of binoculars involves numbers rather than words.  This descriptive language is written as one small number and one large number separated by an “x”.  The first number on the left side of the x represents the number of time the object is magnified when viewing it through the lens.  The number to the right of the x represents the diameter of the objective lens, expressed in millimeters.  Therefore, the combination of 8 x 32 means the object appears to be magnified eight times while seeing it through a lens that is 32mm in diameter.

 

Therefore, when setting out to pick the binoculars best for you or as a gift, it is important to learn about and understand the two types of prisms and the meaning of the two number, separated by an x.  The first number to the left of the x represents the number of magnifications one sees the object while looking through the two lenses. The second number or the one to the right of the x represents the number of mm of the diameter of the lens. The higher the number to the right, the larger the lens diameter and the more light that can get through.  The more light, the brighter and sharper the image appears.  Unfortunately, the larger the diameter of the lens, the heavier and bulkier is the pair of binoculars, the more cumbersome it is to carry.

 

In an upcoming article, I plan on delving even deeper into the specifications that are used to understand and help the customer in finding that pair that will fulfill their needs best.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to both?

Here are the specific models I’m looking at:
