Product description
Nature shows its charms not only during the day. How about getting a look at the nightlife of animals? Or taking a look at the stars — and at distant nebulae and clusters. Argus binoculars let an enormous amount of light through. Use them at dusk or at night — there is always a lot to discover after the day has ended.
Magnesium housing — no more tired arms. Imagine you are observing something in the sky with standard heavy binoculars. After just a few minutes it starts to become tiring and you have to change your grip, but your arms start to ache anyway and you have to give up. Argus binoculars feature a rugged magnesium housing beneath their black rubber skin — making them amazingly light and letting you use them for much longer periods than would otherwise be possible.
A white image with crisp contrast. Argus binoculars let you see nature as it really is! They provide a neutral-white image, whereas many other binoculars often let users down with an intense yellowish image tint. The contrast is also brilliant! All lenses are multi-coated to prevent reflections and stray light, ensuring the light gets precisely to the place where it needs to be — into your eyes.
High edge definition. From the absolute center right out to the edge of the field of view — as soon as you look through your Argus binoculars, you will enjoy fantastic sharpness over the entire field of view. This edge-to-edge clarity is achieved due to the special optical design and high-quality 8 lens element eyepieces.
Comfortable for everyone — eyepieces for spectacle wearers. More than half of the population wear glasses! It's time for a change — the eyepieces of this binocular series are designed to be exceptionally kind to spectacle wearers. There is no more need to ask "Where did I leave my glasses?". Leaving your glasses on still lets you see the entire field of view through these binoculars perfectly.
Individual focusing — adjust the eyepieces separately. Your Argus binoculars allow you to adjust the focus for each eyepiece separately. In the future, you will always have everything in focus and will no longer need to fiddle with the mechanics when observing distant objects. This makes a quick, spontaneous look possible whenever you discover something exciting.
