Buying binoculars can be confusing. What do all those numbers mean and why do you care? Which is better 10×50 or 12×25? This guide can help you sort through the confusion and make the right decision for your needs.

Power - The power of the binoculars is the level of magnification. This is denoted by the first number. Binoculars that are 10×50 are ten power. They will allow you to see at 100 yards as though you were 10 yards away. This is probably the single most important factor in your decision.

Focus - There are three types of focus methods found on binoculars today. "Permafocus" and "Instafocus" are trademarks of the first type. These are pre-focused for you and can save you time. Second is a center rocker-arm focus. This is not quite as fast but will generally give you good results. Third is the center barrel focus where you twist a knob. This type is the slowest of the three.

Diopter - You should verify that any binoculars you buy have a diopter adjustment ring on the right eyepiece. This adjustment allows you to configure the binoculars for your specific eyes.

Size - The size of the binoculars can make quite a difference in how comfortable and convenient they are for you to use. Smaller, lighter binoculars will be much more comfortable hanging around your neck for four or five hours. Given two binoculars that are equal in every other way, take the smaller ones.

Objective Lens - This is the "other" number, that is, those 10×50 binoculars are ten power, but have a 50mm objective lens. The larger the second number the more light the binoculars will let in.

If you care about visual perfection (price be damned!), this deluxe unit is for you! The Golden Ring offers superior crispness, images brighter than those in other models, and a smart focus lock that keeps sharpness immune to clumsy fingers so that you can, well, focus.
