Carson 10x42 VP Series Full Sized Waterproof and Fog-proof Binoculars

Product Information

This is the area where the ED glass used in these optics should make a difference as it should help to minimise the amount of chromatic aberration (color fringing). The actual focusing mechanism is geared so that it takes about 1 and a quarter turns of the wheel to go from infinity to it's minimum focusing distance, which is about middle of the road when compared to most other binoculars. is located in Happauge, Long island, NY which is also where the US plant of Meopta is located although there doesn't appear to be any relationship between them.

Introducing our top-of-the-line VP Series Binoculars, designed to provide you with the ultimate outdoor viewing experience. Carson market the JK Series as ideal everyday, birdwatching, hiking, huning or general widlife observation binoculars. The colors that are produced look and feel nice and natural, unlike the artificial tints that you sometimes find on cheaper binoculars.It looks to be well made and is of good quality, but not quite as deluxe as what you get on the very best binoculars.

These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. This makes them a great value for money, providing you with everything you need to get the most out of your binoculars.The quality of their accessories is also very good and I love the fact that they come with a binocular harness as well as a standard neck strap. The Carson Optical VP-250 12x50mm Compact Binocular has been designed to be the perfect binocular for any outdoor activity. The Carson's are perfectly collimated and offer a great view - I tested them by viewing a horizontal line on a neighbor's house and stepped back from the binos just enough to see if left was in line with right, and it is.

The very cheapest optics have no anti-reflective coatings at all and I highly recommend staying well clear of these. The case has a pocket on either side of the case for holding small objects, such as some small personal items and your lens cleaning cloth. A tough but very lightweight and waterproof body protects some really high quality optical components including the use of ED glass and phase-coated BaK-4 roof prisms that produce a bright and high quality image.

these are up there with some of there lightest pairs of full sized binoculars that I have ever reviewed. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a birdwatcher, a boater, or a hunter, these binoculars are an essential tool to have by your side.

There is a marking on the barrel and one on the ring so that you can line up the neutral diopter setting, but no others. Take in the capacious view of purple-mountains-majesty or just scan the horizon for the adrenalin pumping game. Rugged construction and waterproof performance allow you to use these binos in any weather conditions or environments, and they come with a hard binocular carrying case for extra protection while not in use. Unlike the current trend of open-hinged design binoculars, Carson have used a fairly traditional solid single bridge design on these roof prism binoculars. for sending this binocular to me to review I would also like to point out that all the reviews on this site, including this one are my opinion and are not influenced in any way by manufacturers, distributors or suppliers.Suceess was mainly down to their focus on innovation, which helped Carson compete effectively with much larger industry competitors and this overall philosophy is still what drives Carson today. Also inside the case you will find a lens cleaning cloth and a fairly generic instruction booklet that includes details like adjusting the eyecups, how to properly attach the neck strap, the inter-pupillary adjustment, how to properly focus your binoculars, lens care and cleaning etc. Hunting is another ideal use for them and I would say that they are easily light and adaptable enough so as to be considered great general use optics.
