The choice of a pair of binoculars will depend mainly on the use you wish to make of them. Here are some factors to consider:

Intended use: What do you want to observe with your binoculars? Is it for hiking, bird watching, wildlife observation, boating, or similar activities? Different activities may require different binocular features, such as magnification, field of view, size, water resistance, etc.

Magnification: The magnification determines the number of times objects will appear closer. Binoculars have a magnification between 3 and 20 times. Higher magnification means that objects will appear closer, but it also reduces the field of view and brightness.

Objective diameter: The objective diameter is the size of the lens at the end of the binoculars. Binoculars with a larger objective diameter have a better ability to capture light, which is important for low light observations.
Field of view: The field of view is the area visible through the binoculars. Binoculars with a wider field of view are generally preferred for wildlife observation and similar activities, while binoculars with a narrower field of view are preferred for navigation.
Size and weight: Lighter, more compact binoculars are easier to carry and store. However, this may mean a loss of performance or optical quality.
Optical quality: Optical quality will depend on the make and model of binoculars. Lens coating is the most important and expensive step in the production process, and is what will justify the price of your binoculars. It is important to choose quality binoculars to get a clear and sharp image.
In summary, it is important to determine the intended use of the binoculars and take into account factors such as magnification, lens diameter, field of view, size and weight, and optical quality to choose a pair of binoculars that best suits your needs.

Maintenance:
Remember to take care of your binoculars to ensure an even longer life.
The rubber coating can suffer from heat, sunlight, hydrocarbons and prolonged exposure to light.
Lenses should be cleaned to ensure optimal viewing. Use only suitable products and soft microfibre cloths to avoid scratching the lenses.
We recommend the "binoo-care" cleaning kit, which includes a lens cleaner and microfibre cloth as well as a rubber cleaner and microfibre cloth.
These products are recommended by the biggest brands: Steiner, Nikon, Pentax and Canon.
Thank you for your confidence.
