The Binocular Advisor

by Michael and Diane Porter

Michael PorterDiane PorterAnswers to questions from real people with real questions about how to choose a binocular.


Situation: I want top-notch binoculars that work well with glasses. But I insist on 10 power!

Advice: Only a few binoculars in the world do what you are asking. They do not come cheap. Two brands stand out.

Zeiss Victory FLWe recommend the Zeiss Victory FL. This is a superb binocular, with a wider field of view than most 10-power binoculars. You cannot buy better optics.

SwarovisionThe other top 10x binocular that works great with glasses is the Swarovski Swarovision EL. With its outstanding 20mm of eye relief, this 10-power binocular is a joy to use.
