samboy Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 High gang. Do you lose much optical quality when looking through bino's through a window as opposed to looking through them in the open ?. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would lose some clarity, and more, if your windows are dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 The only way to reduce the loss is to have an (expensive) optically flat glass (clean) window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefor Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I have Leica binos and find the optical quality very good through (double glazed) glass, but the rangefinder will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light levels, angle through the glass, residues on the glass, quality of the binos, distances and what you expect to see. What are you looking at.?

samboy Posted April 10 Author Report Share Posted April 10 Just looking through the patio doors. No nets, day time. Nikon Monarch M7 8x30 so reasonable quality. Yes i know i could open the doors but i was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you've got the binoculars go and look through the window with and without and see what the difference is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who looks a bit sheepish like matey glassing his neighbours garden and who is going to use the £50 gift card to get an upgrade pair of noculars. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Every piece of glass has an effect on clarity when compared to the naked eye. What matters is the quality of glass and coating. It's all about work involved creating the end product. Hence cost generally gives better clarity. Compare cheap camera lenses costing £50 to similar lenses costing £10,000 . So answering your question, yes it will make a difference. How much depends on your window glazing and your binoculars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B686 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Haha that pic of the window reminds me of my mate , he was in his works van in drivers seat and was trying to tamale a shot at a crow in a field through passenger window and ended up putting a hole through the wing mirror. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
