Image quality 1
When light passes through binoculars, some of its intensity is lost. Each lens that passes through absorbs a few percent of the light. But with 12 optical elements, the amount absorbed is significant. It is therefore necessary to apply a treatment to each element to reduce the amount absorbed. But each treatment has a cost. And the more effective the treatment, the more expensive it is. The design is therefore a delicate balance between efficiency and price.
Image quality 2
The binoculars feature a BaK4 prism with dielectric coating and FBMC (Full Broadband multi-coated) lenses, with all surfaces featuring a balanced multi-coating for high-performance light transmission.
These 2 elements deliver 83% light transmission, excellent contrast and color rendition during the day, and excellent brightness at dusk. The prism provides high-performance detail resolution.
Waterproofing
Nitrogen-filled binoculars for waterproofing and internal anti-fogging. Resistant to immersion to a depth of 1 meter for 15 minutes.
Brightness and use
For observation enthusiasts who use their binoculars intensively, and for whom observing an animal must enable them to pick out every detail, the 900 10x42 binoculars are dedicated to the demands of observation.
Excellent image quality, a highly resistant magnesium frame, you can observe animals right up to the end of twilight, a crucial and sometimes unique moment for observing the most fearful and nocturnal animal species.
Output pupil
The human pupil varies from 2 to 3 mm during the day, 4 to 5 mm at dusk and 6 to 7 mm in the dark. So it's important to choose binoculars with an exit pupil that covers your entire pupil, to exploit their full brightness to suit your needs. The 10x42s have an exit pupil of 4.2mm, making them ideal for twilight conditions.
SHARPNESS ADJUSTMENT FOR SPECTACLE WEARERS
Eyecups can be retracted to suit spectacle wearers.
When not wearing glasses, extend the eyecups as far as possible by turning them. With glasses, position the eyecups in the screwed position against the body of the binoculars.
To see the object or animal you are observing clearly, use the central adjustment knob, turning it to the left or right until you obtain a sharp image.
ADJUSTING THE VISION DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO EYES
To correct the difference in vision between the 2 eyes:
Close the right eye and use the central focusing wheel to focus on an object some 50 metres away. Once the object is in focus, close the other eye and repeat the operation, this time focusing with the ring near the right eyecup. The deviation is now corrected. There's no need to adjust this ring again in the future.
