Field of view & focusing
Show more Show less
A wide field of view makes it easier to follow birds in flight or quick movements among branches. A short, smooth focus-wheel travel then brings the crucial detail into focus quickly and with control.

What makes a difference to the image
Field of view, focusing and colour-accurate detail
Birdwatching is about more than magnification. Good binoculars should help you find the bird quickly, focus precisely and reveal natural detail across much of the field of view.
Field Flattener
Show more Show less
Balanced field correction keeps structures clear towards the edge and reduces distracting curvature. It aims to produce a harmonious image without an unnatural rolling effect when panning.
Colour fringing & ED glass
Show more Show less
ED and FLK glass reduce chromatic aberration along high-contrast feather edges. This makes plumage colours look more natural and keeps fine markings more clearly separated.
Quality optics for versatile birdwatching
High-quality binoculars below the premium tier
Two robust NXT 10x42 models for classic birdwatching, a compact EDX 10x30 Fieldstar with high-resolution optics, and an exceptionally lightweight LUX-HR Pocket ED 10x25 for use on the go.

When waders are far out on mudflats, birds of prey circle high above or waterbirds need identifying on large lakes, 12x and 15x binoculars reveal considerably more detail. Higher magnification reduces the field of view and makes steady handheld viewing harder, so a firm support or tripod is particularly useful at 15x.

Ten times closer to the bird
More detail in small and distant subjects
Birds are often small, far away or only visible in the open for a brief moment. 10x42 binoculars bring plumage markings, head features and subtle colour differences visibly closer. That is why 10x magnification is the preferred choice for many birdwatchers.
