Description: | Giant 70mm objectives gather a serious amount of light- so these are ideal for astronomy. They are also excellent for nautical applications and surveillance. The new low-reflection broadband multicoating has a subtle green color, with faint green and purple reflections- just as you'd see on very expensive binoculars costing several times their price. Light loss due to reflection and scattering is minimized, providing the highest level of light transmission possible. The view is very close to Fujinon FMT-SX series quality, for a fraction of the price. Don't just take our word for it- read a couple of independent reviews of this model at Todd Gross' well-known binocular review site and the Astronomy Discussion Page (scroll down).
New "slow-focus" provides precise focus control that won't drift. Both offer long eye relief (especially the 11x model), so they work well with eyeglasses (the rubber eyecups fold down). All Oberwerk binoculars have rugged rubber-armored metal bodies, all-glass lenses, right ocular diopter adjustment, brass 1/4-20 tripod adapter threading, case, caps, and our premium heavy-duty strap. Truly an incredible value for only $149.95 (Retail- $179.95)
