Description: | ITE is pleased to offer these medium aperture and giant aperture field binoculars from Russia for astronomy and/or birding. The KRONOS BPC 20x60mm Field Binoculars offer a slightly larger aperture than the more common 50mm binoculars for outstanding light gathering power. These units are great for astronomy or for birding under low light conditions at dusk or dawn. At 1.45 kg ( ~ 3 pounds), they are still light enough for comfortable handheld observations. However, for astronomy, use of the tripod adaptor (provided with the binoculars) and an optional photo tripod is recommended. The BPC 20x60s feature smooth center focusing and superior optical components, including BAK-4 Porro prisms and precision multicoatings applied to every air-glass optical surface. Images are flat across the entire field without any noticeable edge distortion.
If even more power and light gathering capability is desired either for serious astronomy or for terrestrial applications, then the KRONOS BPC 26X70mm GIANT FIELD BINOCULARS fit the bill perfectly. These units feature individual ocular focusing and the same great optical components as in the BPC 20x60s. These units weigh in at 1.7 kg (~ 3.7 pounds) and can still be hand held, if desired, although a sturdy tripod mount is provided for use with an optional photo tripod.
Each of these fine Russian field binoculars come with a classic coarse-grain black exterior that provides a firm grip, a tripod adaptor, neck strap, black soft case with shoulder strap, and lens caps for the eyepieces and objectives.
