Binoculars are a wonderful way of seeing distant things up closer. Owning several pairs of binoculars with different lens capabilities is quite common. Because there are different reasons for using binoculars, it is important to choose the best ones for the task at hand. Review the following suggestions to help determine what kind of high quality binoculars will provide the best value.

Hunting
To locate big or small game, 8×40, 8×42 and 10×40 are recommended. Bushnell Trophy XLT 8 x 42 is waterproof, fast-focus midsize high quality binoculars. They have Dura-Grip rubber armored housing with Softtouch thumb grips. A long-range roof prism intensifies its outdoor use. The O-ring is sealed and nitrogen purged. These are also great binoculars for kayaking.
Bird watching
8×42 works well in all sorts of terrain, from open fields to forest. They give a wider field of view than higher powered binoculars, which makes the images brighter. It is also easier to hold steady. Because birds move so quickly, you must be able to focus quickly. If you are able to handle the 10×42 for long periods of time, it is also very good for birding.
Bushnell H20 8×42 waterproof binoculars are ideal in rainy or foggy situations. The sealed O-ring is designed to prevent moisture. Textured pads and rubber coating give extra grip. Prism glass and multi-coated optics help the light and image clarity. Eye cups twist up or fold down, promoting longer eye relief. These high quality binoculars have a large center focus knob for easy adjustment. They are a great bargain for the price because they are easier to hold. That allows a longer observation time.
Races
Great for thoroughbreds or NASCAR, 8×25 pulls in the view. Bushnell H20 8×25 compact folding high quality binoculars have rubber armoring, a sealed-ring, and are nitrogen purged to lock out moisture. Multi-coated optics gives great light transmission for a crisp, clear view. They are 100 per cent waterproof for fog-free viewing. Use the large center focus knob for adjusting.
Water
Whether watching the water or scanning the shore, 7×50 marine binoculars with glare and reflection protection will prevent eye strain and headache. Auto focus, waterproof armor, waterproof and fog proof lenses are needed. The waterproof ProMariner WaterSport 7x 50RC marine binoculars have an internal illuminated compass and range finder, center focus, BAK4 prisms, and retained lens caps.
Steiner Binocular 7 x50 Commander V is waterproof, provides a wide field of view, and high-contrast vision. They are guaranteed shock-resistant, with rubber armoring. Auto- focus memory eyepieces allow personal setting recovery at any time.
Scenery
An 8×40 is good for casual glancing, because it is easy to lift. The Pentax SCF Series Binoculars 10×50 is useful for casual to intense observation. The full-body rubber housing protects the high quality binoculars from damage and shock. A quick-focus system is in the center. Adjust the image for eyesight with the diopter adjustment in the right eyepiece ring, or adjust the soft eyepiece rings back, if wearing glasses. Set it on the tripod for longer periods of observation.
It can be seen that one pair of binoculars will not provide optimum results, which is why many people have two or more.
