With Leupold binoculars you'll like what you see. Unlike more inexpensive binoculars, Leupold binoculars feature precision optics for significantly better image clarity, brightness and color transmission. Optics on all Leupold binoculars are crisp and bright. Are all Leupold binoculars and spotting scopes waterproof.
Lets look at some specific features and styles that may be applicable in making a choice that will be right for you. What you are doing, what you are watching, and where you are watching it. There are also some personal things about yourself to take into consideration. Do you wear eyeglasses? What is the size and strength of your hands? Have you ever had trouble in the past fitting a binocular to your eyes distance so that you saw one single picture rather than two partial circles? Do you use the binoculars when you travel and will you be carrying them around a lot?
With all this in mind, we've put together some recommendations and considerations to help you determine what is best for you.
Are children be the primary users of the binocular?
There are a few too seldom considered facts about selecting binoculars for use with children. Never use compact binoculars with children. Even though it may seem like a good idea due to the smaller size of compacts, the magnification levels are too high and the objective diameters are too small, offering a smaller exit pupil, for children to use successfully.
First, while there are inexpensive toy binoculars on the market, they should not be used by children for any amount of time viewing anything; the strain placed upon the eyes is simply too great.
Second, children one must consider the measurement between the pupil of one eye and the pupil of the other to which the two halves of a binocular must be aligned by the hinge if a single binocular image is to be seen through the optic) that is too small for compatibility with ordinary binoculars.
Third, all beginners experience difficulty locating objects in the field through a binocular. There are too few points of reference in the field for a beginner to quickly locate a reference point and move from it to the object desired to be in view. Lower magnification level as well as a wider field of view will resolve this.
Fourth, smaller hands require a smaller overall binocular body to allow the controls to be easily reached and manipulated.
Recommended models are: Katmai 6x32mm and Yosemite 6x30 mm
General Purpose Binoculars
Let's face it sometimes it's just nice to have a binocular on hand. It may not be for any specific purpose. Once in a while it gets taken to a game or along on a vacation to the mountains. Often in such cases, the primary users of the binocular might not be what would be called intensive optic users, thus a lower magnification level will make it easier to use by those less accustomed to locating an object through an optic. As the binocular may not be frequently used, keeping the purchase price to a fairly modest level is often a factor in the choice. Therefore, something fairly straight-forward and easy to use by a wide range of people is the best idea.
Recommended general use models:
Olympic 8x42mm
Katmai 8x32mm
Katmai 6x32mm
Cascades 8x42mm
Cascades 8x42mm Internal Focus Porro
Mesa 8x42mm
Mesa 8x23mm Compact
Yosemite 6x30mm
