Now, do the same with a 12x and you\u2019ll likely only see the object with no surface area around it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re a deer hunter who spends most of his or her time in the hardwoods, field of view when glassing shorter distances is incredibly important to you. With too high a magnification, you\u2019re bound to overlook or miss deer easing through the limbs and leaves.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the other hand, if you\u2019re mainly <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"hunting\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"959\">hunting<\/a> on the Great Plains or areas of the Rocky Mountains that aren\u2019t heavily forested, a 12x binocular will give you the magnification you need to identify animals from long distances. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/all-products\/10x50-binoculars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TORIC 10&#215;50 binocular<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has an FOV of 304 feet at 1,000 yards versus the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/all-products\/12-5x50-binoculars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TORIC 12.5&#215;50 binocular<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which has an FOV of 272 feet at 1,000 yards. At such a long distance, the difference is not great. But when you start getting in close, FOV becomes an important factor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, when you require more FOV, go with a 10x binocular. If you need distance, then the 12x binocular is for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/all-products\/12-5x50-binoculars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4229\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tract-Toric-12-5x50-Web-Ad-Animated.gif\" alt=\"10x vs 12x Binoculars\" width=\"591\" height=\"73\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weight\"><\/span><b>Weight<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weight is another really important consideration when debating 10x versus 12x binoculars. Typically, the higher the magnification and larger the objective lens means more weight. Whereas most 10x binoculars work well with a harness, the 12x almost always requires a tripod in order to hold it steady. This latter point significantly reduces the versatility of the 12x, which is why we took that factor into consideration when designing the TORIC 12.5&#215;50.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It weighs the same as the TORIC 10&#215;50 at just 32.6 ounces. This is due in large part to making the decision from day one to build our binoculars on a magnesium alloy chassis. While they\u2019re both tripod adaptable, they also harness really well and won\u2019t wear out your neck and shoulders after several days of glassing and hunting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eye_Relief\"><\/span><b>Eye Relief<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevisioncouncil.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vision Council of America<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, 64 percent of Americans wear eyeglasses. Google it. If you\u2019re among this bunch, have you ever noticed how your glasses tend to prevent you from seeing the full image through a binocular? Eye relief is what let\u2019s those who wear glasses use a binocular unhindered. Really pay special attention to the eye relief specification on any binocular, especially when considering the higher magnifications like a 12.5x or even 10x.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dKjqhROkjmE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>If you wear eyeglasses, 16mm of eye relief is the absolute minimum so that you\u2019re able to see the entire FOV the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/videosview\/tekoas-design\/\" title=\"TEKOA\u2019s Design\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1683\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">binocular was designed<\/a> to allow. The TORIC 12.5x has 16.6mm of eye relief while the 10x boasts a staggering 19.3mm. Comparatively speaking to most binoculars these sizes, that\u2019s excellent. We understand what it\u2019s like to require eyeglasses and want to ensure that if you\u2019re one 64 percent, we have you covered!<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Image_Stability\"><\/span><b>Image Stability<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ever noticed how a high heart rate sends tremors through the body, making it seemingly impossible to hold steady? That\u2019s a very common occurrence while hunting, especially at high altitudes when you\u2019ve sighted an absolute trophy buck or bull. Trying to hold a binocular steady while glassing that animal at 200 yards is not easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many western hunters rely on a tri- or bipod for their <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/the-ideal-glassing-kit\/\" title=\"Glassing Kit The Ideal Components\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1813\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">binoculars as they glass<\/a> large expanses just as a birder might use a monopod when spending long days looking up into the trees. So, if you\u2019re using a 12x binocular, which will magnify the image by 12 times, it will also magnify the shake in your hands by 12 times.<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_616\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-616\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-616\" title=\"10x vs 12x Binoculars\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bino-on-Tripod.jpg\" alt=\"10x vs 12x Binoculars\" width=\"720\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Bino-on-Tripod.jpg 871w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Bino-on-Tripod-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Bino-on-Tripod-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Bino-on-Tripod-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Bino-on-Tripod-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">10x vs 12x Binoculars<\/figcaption><\/figure><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To give you a good idea about what we mean, try this little test next time you can get your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/tips-for-off-hand-shooting\/\" title=\"Tips for Off Hand Shooting\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1699\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hands on both a 10x and 12x binocular<\/a>. Tack a dollar bill on the wall about 20 feet away and try to read the serial number. Start with a 12x binocular. Oftentimes, you\u2019ll shake so much that the task is nearly impossible. Next, take up a 10x. And while you\u2019ll still notice some shake, you\u2019ll notice that there is much less movement in the 10x.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s important to understand that just because the image is bigger doesn\u2019t mean you can verify detail. So the truth is, if you can\u2019t hold a 12x binocular steady, you will actually get better results in the field with an 10x. The advantage of a larger image is sometimes not practical because your every movement is also magnified.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Light_Gathering\"><\/span><b>Light Gathering<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The incredible design of a human\u2019s eye pupils are what allow us to gather or reject light based on the lighting conditions of our surroundings. Your pupils will open to 5-7mm when the light starts to diminish, hence the reason you can see in the near dark. On the contrary, your pupils will shrink to almost 2mm during bright-light conditions to protect your cornea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, optics aren\u2019t built that way. The light gathering ability of a binocular is built in and does not change based on lighting conditions. That\u2019s why, before you make the decision to buy, it\u2019s important you know the facts. As you know, the amount of light varies from the time you get in a deer stand at mid-afternoon until dusk when animals tend to move the most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This being the case, you need a binocular that meets or exceeds the size of your entrance pupil during the time you plan to use it. The TORIC 10&#215;50 will give you 5mm of light vs. 4mm from the 12.5x. We know this by measuring the size of the binoculars exit pupil. The exit pupil is the actual image in the eyepiece as it leaves the binocular to enter your eye.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/the-engineer-his-set-up-his-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1768\" title=\"10x vs 12x Binoculars\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/David_TT.jpg\" alt=\"10x vs 12x Binoculars\" width=\"485\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/David_TT.jpg 984w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/David_TT-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/David_TT-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/David_TT-482x300.jpg 482w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/David_TT-150x93.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/a><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exit_Pupil_Explained\"><\/span><b><br \/>Exit Pupil Explained<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A more technical definition of exit pupil is the diameter of the shaft of light (in millimeters) that exits a binocular\u2019s eyepiece and enters through your eye\u2019s entrance pupil. Exit pupil is calculated by dividing a binocular\u2019s objective size by its magnification. For example, based on the TORIC 10x and 12.5, 50mm\/10x = 5mm or 50mm\/12.5x = 4mm.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under bright light, your pupil may contract down to 2mm, causing some of the light that emanates from a 5mm exit pupil to go unused because it\u2019s blocked by the iris (above left in diagram). However, under dawn and dusk conditions, your pupil will dilate up to 5mm or more (above right). Thus, a 10&#215;50 binocular will deliver the more light that your pupillary opening will accept versus the 12.5&#215;50.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decision_Time\"><\/span><b>Decision Time<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that you have the facts, it\u2019ll be much easier to determine what size binocular is right for you.
