With an optical formula that delivers first-class light transmission, brightness, optimal contrast and true colours as well as and exact resolution of details.
Our outstanding product features:
Twist-Up Eyecups
The Twist-up Eyecups offer optimum protection against incidental light from the side. They donât just block troublesome reflections, they ensure an extremely bright image. The three positions of the eyecups offer an ergonomic, a classic cylindrical and a position for people wearing glasses. If the eyecups do not fit exactly to your eyes, they can be adjusted as desired by the eyecup fine adjustment mechanism.
Softgrips
Our Softgrips for your thumbs ideally combine comfort with a firm grip on the binoculars. The lightweight and comfortable feel eliminates pressure points, particularly if you are observing for longer periods. At the same time, they give the binocular excellent balance.
High-Definition XP-Optics
The exceptional optical formula is our own development using the purest index matched glass, and coatings using rare-earth formulations of titanium, fluorite and other mineral substrates. The result is not only a first-class light transmission and a remarkable brightness- the images are crisply sharp and of the highest contrast right to the edge of the field of view. Contours are always clear and easily made out; incidental light is reduced to a minimum. Perfect, high resolution observing results are guaranteed, even under the worst weather conditions, in poor light or at the onset of dusk.
The roof prism system contains a specially developed dielectric mirror with a vapour-deposited phase correction coating. This high-tech phase correction gives exact resolution of detail and true colours. It also reflects up to 99% of incoming light. In addition, the dielectric mirrors prevent aging of respectively extends the life of the coating. Aging also means that there is a loss of light transmission after some time. The perfectly adjusted distance of the exit pupil and the large diameter of the ocular lens provide you with relaxed and exact observing experiences. You gain an âinto-the-imageâ feeling, but you also achieve the highest comfort, even when viewing with low light or peripheral interference. The large above-average objective diameter of 44 mm guarantees clear, detailed and brilliant observation.
Fast-Close-Focus
A small movement of the central focussing wheel with your finger is all thatâs needed to recognise details from close-up to infinity quickly and with absolute sharpness. The Fast-Close-Focus completely bypasses the need for clumsy and time consuming turning of the focussing wheel. The focusing knob with stepless, attenuated adjustment makes focusing quick, smooth and easy even when wearing thick gloves in bitterly cold weather. With an excellent close focus range, an extremely comfortable handling with perfect focussing in an unbelievably short time is provided.
Distance Control System
The Distance Control System guarantees fast and easy recognition of e.g. birds. Focussing takes place before you hold the binocular up for viewing. When observing, the distance to the bird it can be read off in the binoculars at any time. If desired you can preset the distance even before you start looking at the bird. This gives you more valuable time for identification.
STEINER Nano-Protection®
Unsurpassed clear vision is offered by the proven STEINER Nano-Protection®. It provides the lenses with a dirt and water resistant surface, protecting them against aggressive environmental effects. Rain, salt-water, snow and moisture are eliminated from your view by this repelling layer. Cleaning is considerably simplified and hard-to-remove dirt becomes a thing of the past.
