Full-Size Binoculars

Full-size binoculars pair 50mm and larger objective lenses with magnifications like 10x50 and 12x50, plus big astronomy models such as the Explore Scientific BT-70. The large aperture gathers maximum light for low-light dawn and dusk glassing, long-range observation, and astronomy.

We carry full-size optics from Steiner Optics, Athlon Optics, Alpen Optics, Explore Scientific, Kite Optics and Hawke Optics, including ED-glass lines like the Alpen Chisos and Athlon Midas G2 Pro UHD. At the same magnification, the larger objective gives a wider exit pupil (5mm for a 10x50 against 4.2mm for a 10x42), which keeps the image bright where smaller binoculars dim.
