Expanded GPO Passion HD Binoculars Key Features:

Superior Image

To begin with, these binoculars feature a Schmidt Pechan roof prism system. This is accompanied by phase correction coatings that prevent phase shift which ultimately results in a higher resolution image. This is all whilst the binocular's dielectric mirror coatings reflect more than 99% of the light across the entire spectrum. This results in higher image brightness and overall quality across your image. The glass elements throughout the barrels are fully multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings as well as the objective lenses featuring double HD lens elements which significantly reduce distortions that causes colour fringing, providing you with the best possible image of your subject.

The Magnesium Chassis

The strong magnesium chassis is accompanied by a multi-textured body armour that provides both protection and grip. The exterior lens surfaces see GPO's proprietary "PASSIONdrop" hydrophobic coatings. These coatings will keep your lenses free of water, oil and dirt, making it easier clean and ultimate provide you with a better viewing experience in any weather condition.

FAQs:

What does ED stand for?

Extra low dispersion glass or, ED, prevents or lessens chromatic aberrations in the images you see through the lens. When using this glass, wavelengths are more effectively directed and concentrated which results in minimised, or controlled aberrations and more specifically, chromatic aberrations. Generally speaking, if aberrations are controlled, you will experience a brighter and cleaner image through your lens.

What Binoculars Do I Need?

What binoculars are needed depends on the user and what they intend to use the binoculars for. Higher the magnification, the 'closer' you'll be to your subject but as a result, your field of view is narrowed. A lower magnification results in a wider field of view - You'll see more and it'll be easier to track a subject e.g. a fleeting animal. A wider diameter results in better image brightness and low-light capabilities. Whereas, a smaller diameter pair of binos will be physically lighter and therefore more comfortable to use.
