Image quality 1

When light passes through the binoculars, some of its intensity is lost. Each glass crossed absorbs part of the light, a few percent. But with 10 optical elements, the amount absorbed is significant. It is therefore necessary to deposit a treatment on each element to reduce this absorbed part. But every treatment has a cost. And the more effective the treatment, the more expensive it is. The design is therefore a clever mix between efficiency and price.

Image quality 2

The binoculars are equipped with a BaK4 prism with silver coating and lenses with FMC treatment: Full multi-coated, all surfaces are multi-coated for optimal light transmission. These 2 elements allow to offer a light transmission of 78% as well as very good contrast and color rendering during the day, and very good brightness at dusk. The prism provides very good sharpness to observe details.

Sealing

Nitrogen filled binoculars for waterproofing and internal anti-fog. Resistance to immersion at a depth of 1 meter for 15 minutes.

Brightness and use

For regular use in the field, wishing to observe wild animals in detail, these 500 10×42 binoculars are very well suited. Their optical performance allows you to observe and hunt until the end of twilight. The 10x magnification and the image quality allow you to see the details of the observed animals. Be careful with a free arm, a slight shaking may be felt.

exit pupil

The human pupil varies from 2 to 3 mm during the day, from 4 to 5 mm at dusk and from 6 to 7 mm in the dark. It is therefore important to choose binoculars with an exit pupil that covers your entire pupil, to exploit all their brightness according to your needs. The 10×42 have an exit pupil of 4,2mm so very well suited to twilight.

Sharpness adjustment and spectacle wearer

Retractable eyecups for eyeglass wearers. Without glasses, extend the eyecups as far as they will go by turning them. When wearing glasses, position the eyecups screwed against the body of the binoculars. To see the object or animal being observed clearly and sharply, use the central adjustment wheel by turning it left or right until you obtain a sharp image.

Adjusting the vision gap between the two eyes

To correct the vision gap between the two eyes: Close your right eye and focus on an object about fifty meters away using the central focus wheel. Once the object is in focus, close your other eye and repeat the operation, this time focusing with the ring located near the right eyepiece. The gap is now corrected. There is no need to adjust this ring in the future.

Want to keep a souvenir of the scene observed with your pair of binoculars?

It’s possible! And it’s what we call digiscoping. In concrete terms, it’s the art of taking a photo of the scene you’re viewing through your binoculars with your phone. All you need is a single accessory: a digiscoping adapter. You can find one in our range under reference 8648792.

Their optical performance allows you to observe and hunt until the end of twilight. The x10 magnification and the quality of the image make it possible to clearly see the details of the animals observed.
