Deciphering the marine binoculars
Each pair of binoculars has 2 numbers in its name. For example, for the , the 2 numbers are 7 and 50. But what do they mean?
-
The 1st number, here 7, corresponds to the magnification of the binocular. These binoculars therefore magnify the image 7 times more than the reality.
-
The 2nd number, here 50, corresponds to the diameter of the lens. It is expressed in millimeters and will affect the brightness of the image in the binoculars.
The majority of marine binoculars offer a x7 magnification. This is a good compromise between a decent magnification for navigation which is a practice that does not require a huge zoom. In addition, there are some disadvantages to having too high a magnification. Indeed, the higher the magnification, the less stable the binoculars will be and the lower the brightness.
To compensate for the lack of brightness caused by high magnification, it is important to choose a large lens diameter. The larger it is, the more light it lets in. In the same way, the better the lens, the more light it will let in.
Beyond the magnification and the objective diameter, several characteristics are important to take into account when choosing your binoculars according to the use you will have of them.
