Product description

More about the series Hunter...

The Omegon 8x56 field glasses are a powerful instrument in the hands of naturalists, huntsmen and astronomers.

With a 56-mm objective aperture, they collect 64 times more light than the naked eye and produce extremely clear images, as only binoculars of this size can. These field glasses are thus perfect for dusk or unfavourable light conditions. With the 8x magnification, even moving objects can be easily maintained in the centre of the field of vision.

The field glasses provide excellent optical and mechanical properties. They offer both an unusually large field of vision, as well as excellent resolution, which is maintained right up to the edges of the field of vision. The special multicoatings prevent undesired reflections and enhance contrasts.

The Omegon 8x56 fits snugly in the hand. With an easy-action centre focusing system, both the resolution and the diopter compensation can be adjusted. Foul weather or rain leave the Omegon 8x56 completely untouched, as it is waterproof and filled with nitrogen.


The features in brief:
-especially high light intensity
-diameter of exit pupil 7 mm
-longitudinal eye distance of 23 mm

Our expert comment:

The connection for the tripod adapter is under the central focusing wheel cover. There are two versions of the tripod adapter: a basic binoculars tripod adapter and an improved (as it is more robust): metal binoculars tripod adapter.

Customer reviews

really value for money

Review by dodicimarzo on 11.09.2011 19:34:06

Huge clear vision even with poor light. Valuable product wich can be compared to much more expensive ones. Of course that is not a Zeiss, but 10 times cheaper vs 2 times less accurate. Any way very good product.

fantastic performance

I compared it to much more expensive binoculars and it performed just like them at a tenth of the price.
