Binoculars for long distance

A pair of binoculars suitable for long distance should feature some important specifications. First, the binoculars need a high magnification factor, 12x and up, so you can see objects from further away. Keep in mind, however, that it is harder to keep an image still when you're using a higher magnification factor, so the image may become blurry with movement. Second, the binoculars need a larger objective lens, 42 mm and up, so as much light as possible passes through the binoculars, resulting in a clear and bright image even in low-light conditions.

The quality of the lenses and coatings greatly affect image quality, so choose binoculars with multi-coated lenses for the best image sharpness and brightness. Finally, binoculars that are easy to hold still are better suited for long-range use, so keep an eye on weight, design or built-in features such as image stabilisation.
