Monoculars – What are
they?
Monoculars are a modified refracting telescope used
to magnify the images of distant objects by passing
light through a series of lenses and prisms. These
prisms create a type of lightweight telescope with
the weight and volume being than half those of
binoculars, making it easy to carry and hold when
sightseeing, bird watching, hunting, sporting and
more.
If
you are the type of person who is always on the go
but loves the benefits of a binocular, then
monoculars are a great alternative. Prices range
from as low as $10.00 and as high as $250.00 each
having there own special uses and features.
Depending on your needs and budget, will help narrow
your choice on what monocular to buy.
Features like durable frame construction and
multi-coated lenses is very much the same when
comparing monoculars vs.
binoculars. Focus, magnification, night vision,
eye relief, zoom, field of view and digital options
are all things to consider before shopping. Sizes
can range from pocket size too much larger options.
Other accessories that should be included with your
monoculars purchase is a carry case, lens cover,
cue, cleaning solution for the lens and soft wipe
clothe. Name brands to check out include Zeiss,
Diplopia, Bushnell, Tasco, Vivitar and Lornetka to
name a few. I suggest visiting
www.shopping.com
a consumer review site and online shopping mall, to
compare prices, features and options before you buy.
