how do i decide on the best binoculars for a safari?
Here are some other tips to help you choose: 1. Never buy a pair which is too heavy and large. 2. It is difficult to stabilize yourself when the magnification is excessively powerful. 3. The first number represents the binoculars enlargement capacity. The ideal for the bush is 8x and should never exceed 10x magnification. 4. The second number represents the aperture of the front lens which determines the amount of light that enters the binoculars. The optimum is about 30mm diameter front lens, however for use in poor lighting and at night, you may consider a 50mm width. 5. Make sure that you utilize your lens caps and case when not in use. This prevents moisture and dust from damaging the glass. Only use soft micro-filament cloth to clean your binoculars, regular fabrics are abrasive and will scratch and destroy the finely coated lenses. 6. Insure your binoculars. http://www.wildlifesafari.info/binoculars.htm An
