Unbelievable: Field Flattener lenses at this price

Field flattener LensesThe use of aspherical lenses leads to a reduction in the overall length of the binoculars and in some cases to a significant reduction in weight. " More info - an absolute novelty for a Binoculars in this price range. Field flattener lenses are special, additional lens elements within the binoculars to compensate for the Image field curvatureThe image produced by a lens objective has a spherical error by nature. This error can be corrected using appropriate optical elements. " More infowhich is created by the lens radius.

The result is an almost flat image. Lines and edges, which are naturally bent by the lens curvature, are thus displayed straight again. The finest structures and smallest details are sharply resolved right to the edges.

The field flattener lenses have a DDlucid RemunerationIf light hits a glass-air surface (e.g. with a roof prism), the reflection causes a loss of light. " More info a further development of the ELR (extra low reflection) coating. DDlucid from DDoptics is currently one of the most effective binocular coatings. Only premium binoculars currently have such similarly advanced coatings. RemunerationWith the help of a simple coating, this loss of light transmission (transmission loss) is reduced to 1.5%, for example. This already increases the amount of light that reaches your eyes to around 80%. " More info.

The Schmidt Pechan Roof prismThe main difference between the roof edge and the Porro system is the roof edge, where one of the reflective surfaces resembles a house roof (see picture below). " More info is phase-coated. In combination with the dielectric mirror, the phase correction coating ensures Very high colour saturation and contrast and maximum brightness. A EDIn addition to the coating of optics, the glass quality or type of glass is one of the most important quality factors for binoculars and riflescopes " More info Appochromat reduces colour fringing in backlighting and guarantees clean contours.

Convenient and precise focussing mechanism on the Königstein 8×42

The high-quality aluminium focusing wheel prevents unintentional adjustment of the focus. In addition, the focussing mechanism has been specially designed to be smoother.

The user is supported by a Smart Focus function, which largely eliminates the need for refocussing. The binoculars are set to around 100 metres and are therefore sharp in the range between 50 metres and infinity.

The Dioptre compensation (+- 3.5) is located at the right EyepieceThe eyepiece is the lens group of an optical system that faces the eye. The eyepieces consist of several separate lenses - achromats (3-6 individual lenses).  " More info and is equipped with a Click detent which protects against unintentional adjustment and at the same time ensures the SettingAlignment in binoculars refers to the parallel alignment of the two halves of the binoculars.

Large field of vision for spectacle wearers

The binoculars are characterised by a large distance between the Exit pupilIn addition to the twilight number, the binocular exit pupil at the eyepiece of the binoculars is also very important for seeing in twilight (twilight vision). " More info with a value of 18.5mm. This also Spectacle wearerLooking through binoculars with glasses reduces the field of view by 50-60%. An eyepiece with dioptre compensation offers a remedy for short-sightedness or long-sightedness. " More info the full enjoyment of the very wide field of view of 131m and thus benefit from the outstanding edge sharpness provided by the field flattener lenses. For the perfect Interpupillary distanceThe interpupillary distance is the optimum distance between the eyepiece lens and the pupil of the eye.
