Opticron Discovery WP PC 8x50 Binoculars, Black

Product Information

For me, the UVHD / UVHD+ brings out the best in binoculars; it provides the most relaxed view EVER and does, what Henry Link once said to be the most important thing in a binocular when talking about the 8x56 FL, it provides the best possible image in the central 50% of the FOV.

Back when I only had the 10x42 NV (and a 10x25 Trinovid BCA that had been my only bin for years) I seriously considered getting an 8x50 UVHD+ to complement it, especially of course for the added low light performance. Our illuminated reticle is truly designed for finding objects with its open center (so you don't mask the object you are centering with cross hairs) and scale markings for 1. Some formats seem to be getting out of "fashion", the 7x42 is also slowly running out of air, let's see how long the 8/10x56 will last ?

These values are the optical magnification zoom range to the eyepieces, magnification to the camera will depend on the camera sensor size and the camera adapter used.

And yes, at that time most glasses were probably Porros, I can still remember that many hunters were out with very large binoculars, today small and handy is in demand, only applies to astroms, the bigger the better . The existing scale markings (pitch=1 degree) on the crosshairs are a good reference for estimating distances, and the open centre markings also make it easier to centre objects precisely. e. no pause for the weekend) and I forced myself to wait to open the box till various other tasks were done and dusted.As Andreas said, it should have advantages in occupying a position between x42 and x56 by giving more light than a x42 while staying a touch more compact and therefore manageable than say an 8x56 T*FL.

Eyecups: initially I was surprised that there are only two detents other than fully in: the first is a short way out and then it's a way to go till the next detent at fully out. For eyeglasses users, the 8x50 should work fine, in this point, Leica is somewhat limited with some models, that 8x32 does not work at all for me, 10x50, 12x50 also not, 8x42 UV.what about the Leica 8x50 HD-Plus, you hardly find any reviews, even in hunting forums the glass seems to be disregarded!

I went instead for the 7x42 UVHD+ to fill the requirements for a larger FOV and low light performance.

This means that the mechanical fluctuations in the tracking accuracy, which are present in all astronomical telescope mounts, are measured by the tracking camera and compensated accordingly. For easy reproduction of the point of focus, this has a white millimetre scale from 0 to 28mm, which is attached by laser engraving.
