Omegon Blackstar 8x42 Binoculars
Roof prisms. Magnification: 8x. Objective lens diameter: 42mm
The new Omegon 8x42 binoculars with roof prisms are a reliable companion for hiking and birdwatching tours, as well as on the water. A compact and powerful set of binoculars for nature observation. Those are precisely the advantages of the Omegon 8x42 binoculars with roof prisms; their optics and mechanical structure are both in the upper range of their class. Due to their shape, they perfectly fit in your hands and the rubber armouring provides a firm grip. During observation, the central focusing wheel can be easily operated with just one finger. It takes no more than half a turn of the wheel to change focus from near to infinite, so you don’t get into irritating trial and error focusing. The Omegon 8x42 provide a comfortable viewing posture. They come with twist-up eyecups which lock into place, so as to avoid any accidental eyecup retracting during observation.
Optical features
This set of binoculars offers a wide field of view and excellent sharpness across the field. Objective lenses and eyepieces are multi-coated to reduce light reflection. Lens tubes are internally matte blackened, which contributes to further eliminating any reflections that would result in poor contrast and affect observation.
Features in short:
- Comfortable viewing posture
- Twist-up eyecups
- Good overall sharpness
- Multi-coating
- Compact size, but none the less high light transmission
- Good colour correction
