To this end, we analyse, for example, the browser settings of our visitors - anonymised, of course, and in compliance with data protection laws. You can find our data protection information here!

FAQs Spotting scopes

The twilight factor says nothing about the twilight performance. This is a purely mathematical value. Example: 8x56. Here the lens diameter 56 is multiplied by the magnification 8. The root is then taken from the resulting value of 448. So the twilight factor here is: 21.166. It does not matter whether these are expensive premium binoculars or binoculars from a discount store.

Anti-reflective coatings (AR coating for short) or also multi-layer coatings are used to suppress the reflection of optical surfaces of lenses, objectives, prisms or plates and to increase the transmission. Lenses and eyepieces with such a coating are referred to as a coating. Such a coating is usually vapour-deposited.

FAQs Binoculars

For birdwatching we recommend the following binoculars.

It should be noted here that the higher the magnification, the steadier the hand must be. More details can then be seen, but from higher magnifications we recommend the use of a spotting scope.
