alpen binoculars - it's all here

Unlike monoculars which is one small telescope and can only been seen through using one eye, binoculars is lke having two telescopes, one for each eye. Binoculars are two mirror-symmetrical and identical telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point accurately in the same direction, permitting two-eye viewing.

How does one choose a binocular? To keep the binoculars in perfect viewing order they will need to work even after being dropped. Binoculars can also come in very large sizes but those are usually used by more professional viewers and need to be steadied by being placed on a tripod for support.

A monocular was a perfect device to locate and identify riders from far off, and to determine from their banners or colour whether they are friend or foe. There are giant binoculars available with higher magnifications and apertures which are designed for astronomy use but you will certainly need a sturdy tripod or mount to use them. They can be used while hiking, camping, boating and hunting.

A pair of binoculars that reads 7x50 can magnify things seven times stronger than they actually are with a 50mm objective lens. You need to feel comfortable using them, they should feel right in your hands, around your neck and up to your face. The only negative review I have to offer that the lens caps are cheap and are nowhere near the quality of the rest of the binoculars.

Let's face it, you are going to possess these binoculars for a long time, so get a good pair. A good warranty is your ticket to trouble free repair.
