The prisms are of two different types - Porro Prism and Roof Prism. In the binoculars having Porro prism, the objective or the front lens is offset from the eyepiece. This is why the Porro prism binoculars facilitate superior depth acuteness while offering a wider 'field of view'. In binoculars having Roof prism, the prisms overlap closely, such that the objective lenses lines up directly with the eyepiece. This results in a slender and sleek shape as the lenses and prisms are in a straight line. Usually the optical prisms are made from barium crown (BAK-4) glass or borosilicate (BK-7) glass. Of the two, the BAK-4 is the superior in quality and gives brilliant images with enhanced periphery sharpness.

In sizes, there are the Standard Size Binoculars and Compact Binoculars. A Standard Size Binocular is also known as a full-size binocular. Nature watching to spectator sports, you name it and it covers the range of activities you enjoy. The smaller and the lighter version of the Standard Size Binocular is the Compact Binoculars.
