Product Information

Indeed if you are planning on also using them as a marine binocular, this will probably be the better option. So, rubber covering is fine to protect from knocks and stop them sliding around, but it’s no guarantee they are waterproof. The traditional style body further enhances the high quality feel and rugged build with a large easy to operate focus wheel and dioptre adjustment.

Testers praised the optics, both for daytime and night vision, and liked the digital compass, although it could be difficult to read the digits in very bright light (the readout has five levels of brightness). On passage, the ability to identify another vessel in the distance – in particular its direction – gives early peace of mind. When we test your telescope, we will ensure that it is of the highest quality otherwise, we will reject the scope under our strict quality control and test another model for your peace of mind. Featuring rubber armoured bodies and fully coated lenses the Classic range is also a lighter weight alternative to most traditional style/size binoculars. Here you should be looking for a binocular that has fully multi-coated optics and which is completely waterproof and fog proof as well as having a number of other small improvements.They are identical to the Konus Tornado and Talamex Lankhorst Taselaar Deluxe binoculars, except for a different hand grip and colour, but are quite a bit cheaper. CameraWorld is acting as a credit broker offering finance products from Omni Capital Retail Finance Limited. However, as well as these, the combination of a modest 7x power with the reasonably large, but not giant 50mm objectives is also one of the most frequently used setups for observing the night sky using binoculars.

This is one of the main reasons why many spotting scopes have a variable magnification eyepiece as you can start in a low power setting and use it to find and then lock onto the object you wish to observe and then zoom in to get more detail. The Minox DCM and Steiner Navigator take some beating as premium products, but are substantially more expensive than the others on test. High quality powerful binoculars with an exceptional combination of optical performance, features and value.The other advantage of a 7x50 is that the combination of a very wide view and bright optics also makes a great low light general use, wildlife and particular bird watching binocular.

Similarly, in coastal waters, being able to recognise a buoy at a distance reassures the navigator that he is on course – or not, as the case may be.

As I have mentioned earlier, a wide view has many advantages, especially for astronomy making it easier to find objects and scan the skies. In this article, I explore and explain the reasons why the 7x50 configuration is so popular with astronomers and then at the foot of this page, I also take a look at some of the best 7x50 binoculars for astronomy currently on the market: Why 7x50 Binoculars for Astronomy? All pairs passed our ‘dunk’ test for floating (with swim strap where appropriate) and waterproofness.Roof-prism binoculars have objective lenses approximately in line with the eyepiece and lead to a more compact design: they are however harder to shock proof and more expensive to produce than Porro prism binoculars. These models feature the same stylish, soft natural rubber design and styling as the Naturesport range except these models have been upgraded with advanced features for maximum performance. Marine-2 7x50 IC binoculars are designed and manufactured to meet the toughest performance criteria demanded by the enthusiast.

This 7x50 binocular does not require focusing, making it extremely easy to use and practical for any purpose including astronomical observations.

A linear vertical and horizontal scale visible in one lens which enables distances or heights to be determined, either by reading of a scale marked on the casing or by calculation. Unlike the Celestron or Nikons above, this is perhaps not a brand that everone would instantly recognise.
