How does optical glass enhance binocular image quality?
High-grade glass offers a more clear, vivid image than standard glass
The optical glass used in a binocular affects the quality of the image you see through it. The objective lens of a binocular refracts or bends light, directing it to a focal point at some distance behind the lens of the binocular. Each color [...]
Vortex PS-100 P&S Attachment
I recently addressed the problem of today’s point & shoot digital cameras and popular DCA style digiscoping adapters.

Spotting Scopes for Birding

A student of karate will progress through different belt colors until they reach the black belt level. Every parent’s nightmare–a toy with “some assembly required” will lead one through a progression of sometimes frustrating directions. Thankfully, the [...]
Outlook for New Optics
Well, it’s winter and it’s February-not exactly two of my favorite things. I always find myself hoping for little signs of spring around this time. So far there are none, with the sub-freezing temperatures and snow that Wisconsin and many around the country are experiencing. However, we are not letting that get us down at [...]
