About Best Binocular Reviews

>About me

As a safari guide in South Africa and as part of my job I used binoculars every single day. During this time I had many guests who would come on safari without any binoculars, poor quality binoculars or the best binoculars available (not all ways the best as wildlife spotting binoculars).

It was around this time that I became really interested in binocular optics and would often ask my guests if I could try theirs out to compare them against my own set (I had a pair of Steiner 10x26 Wildlife Binoculars at the time). In this way that I was at first able to try out may different sets, including a few night binoculars and it gave me an understanding of how the quality of the lenses, the weight, balance, toughness, objective lens diameter as well as many other factors affect the quality of a pair of binoculars.

It seemed to me that whilst there are many places that you can buy binoculars, they just present you with a confusing array of binoculars all described as the best thing since sliced bread, this makes deciding which is the best binocular for your particular need at the price suited to you very hard to do.

Most people when they purchase their first set of binoculars are pretty ignorant as to how the quality of different binoculars varies because they have not had the luxury of trying out different sets. There is the general misconception that all you need is the largest magnification as possible and the larger the magnification the better the binoculars. So many people end up buying binoculars with the biggest magnification at the cheapest price (a dangerous combination). Others over compensate and get the most expensive binoculars which whilst are no doubt fantastic, but may not be suited for the desired use.

In the old days you would probably go down to your photographic shop and try out a few pairs before buying, in this modern age of the web that is not possible. So with the aim of solving some of these issues the Best Binoculars and Binocular Review website was born.

>Quality not quantity

Not only is it impossible for me to review every set of binoculars on the market, but I find that when I visit websites selling binoculars, I am usually baffled by the sheer amount of binoculars all being described as the greatest on earth, or I am disapointed by the quality of binoculars being described as the ultimate binocular. Best Binocular Reviews aims to provide you with the best reviews of the best binoculars not the most.

When choosing which binoculars to review I usually try and select a quality pair of optics (Best Binoculars), so most of the binoculars on this site are some of the best in their field. If I do review a binocular and I think it is rubbish, I will say so, or more likely if certain features fall short of the mark they will highlighted, hopefully helping you make an informed choice.
