Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Best Low LIght Binoculars

One will see more detail in low light with a 10x42 verses a 8x42 considering they are of the same quality.. The image may be brighter with the 8x42 because of larger exit pupiI(if your eyes can use it) but the resolution will be better with the 10x42.

The 10x42 has a higher twilight factor.

A high quality 10x56 would be a top performer in low light for detail recognition An ideal combination of large exit pupil and magnification.

I see very little difference in brightness in low light these days between identical 8x42 and 10x42 binoculars. I do see the superior resolution of the 10x in low light. I have 20/20 vision but am approaching fifty years old.
