That said, you just have to decide which of the 20×50 binoculars you should choose to be your “new adventure companion” from today. Binoculars have several lenses inside every barrel. Each of these lenses goes through a special multi-coating process. Lower priced lines of binoculars will only have this process done on the objective lenses. The highest end models will have a fully-mulitcoting on every single lens. In the case of European brands such as Zeiss, Leica and Swarovski they achieve the highest level of light intakes using these processes. In other words the binoculars will have a much nicer, sharper and brighter image. This is mainly noticeable in low light conditions (fog, rain, early mornings etc.).

Will they suffice or do you need a more expensive pair? That depends on what you're after. Equipped with 10x magnification and 50mm objective lenses, the UpClose G2 10x50 are both powerful and fast, offering plenty of magnification and also able to collect a lot of light.

UpClose G2 also contains other optical surfaces treated with special coatings to boost light transmission even more. The result is a brighter view than uncoated binoculars.

The listed magnification power (the first number in the formula) indicates how many times larger an image appears through the ocular lenses than it does with an unaided eye. In the case of the formula 20×50, a pair of binoculars with this magnification would produce an image that is 20 times larger than what you would see with your eyes alone. Many times we want to look at the firmament because we love to observe everything that happens but we need something that allows us to visualize in great detail with greater depth and sharpness, so the best 20×50 binoculars are waiting for you. I’ve tested an 8x25 pair out on a few trails for birdwatching and was impressed with their comfort and fit. The eyecups are comfy on the eyes and fit well when I pressed them against my glasses, thanks to their pliable rubber. The eye cups are also solid for phone photography, and I was able to push my iPhone 12 camera lens against them for a clear photo of a few birds I spotted.Key specs – 10x magnification; 42mm objective lenses; 7.6° field of view; 18mm eye relief; adjustable cups; 2m close focusing distance; 850g
