Questions About Binoculars
- How do I choose binoculars?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Choosing a set of binoculars is really a matter of preference and will depend on the intended use. The magnification strength, objective lens diameter, protective features and materials used will all vary depending on how you will use them. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a variety of binoculars for any activity ranging from bird watching to going to the opera.
- Who invented binoculars?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024J. P. Lemiere invented binoculars. In 1825, he created the first example of modern-day binoculars, a pair of opera glasses that could magnify objects across short distances. Building on his work, Ignazio Porro unveiled a more powerful pair in 1854 by adding a prism system. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of binoculars.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, opera glasses are not the same as binoculars. Although they resemble one another, opera glasses are usually smaller than binoculars and have lower-power optics that do not magnify as much. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique opera glasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Many binoculars are made in Europe as of December 2021. They include models manufactured by the brands Belomo, Blaser, IOR, Kahles, Leica, Meopta, Minox, Noblex, Optolyth Steiner and Zeiss. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of antique and vintage binoculars.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between opera glasses and binoculars relates to their size and optics. Opera glasses are generally smaller and feature low-power optics. They are usually used only for viewing theatrical performances. Larger, more powerful binoculars have a wide range of uses. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of opera glasses and binoculars.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Currently, the military uses an M22 binocular as their primary field binocular with 7X magnification. In the past, the military used a range of hand-held binoculars and tripod-mounted binoculars for their scouting needs. Shop a collection of vintage, authentic military binoculars on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024Yes, Carl Zeiss binoculars are generally thought of as good in terms of their quality. The German maker is one of the leading manufacturers of binoculars in the world. The company uses only fine-quality materials like all-metal bodies and high-end glass in its products, and strict quality controls guide the manufacturing process to ensure that its binoculars are flawless. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Carl Zeiss binoculars.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To spot fake Zeiss binoculars, examine their details and compare them to photos of authentic examples of the same model. Counterfeiters often miss small details. For instance, the focus knobs may be the wrong size or shape, or screw hardware may protrude in areas where they should be flush. Checking the serial number can also be beneficial. On Zeiss binoculars, you can usually find it along the hinge, below the right eyepiece or between the tube and the left hinge. Research your model to find out where the serial number should appear. If your binoculars have the serial number somewhere else, they may not be authentic. Cross-referencing the serial number with information shared on trusted online resources can also help you identify a fake. When in doubt, consult a knowledgeable expert, such as a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Carl Zeiss binoculars.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether Nikon binoculars are made in Japan or China depends on the model. All of the brand's high-end binoculars come from Japanese factories. However, Chinese facilities produce some entry-level models. On 1stDibs, you can shop a selection of vintage binoculars.
