Brand: Kite Optics
The Forster range of binoculars is arguably the most popular from the prestigious Belgian company Kite Optics and a sure bet for many ornithologists and wildlife observers around the world for its extraordinary brightness and depth of field. Introducing the 8 and 10 x 42mm models
The Forster 8 and 10 x 42mm models provide an extremely clear and bright image thanks to their optics and state-of-the-art ceiling prisms, capable of providing true color reproduction for the entire light spectrum. One of its peculiarities is that the prisms are coated with multiple layers (67 specifically), in addition to being endowed with a complex design of anti-reflective eyepieces and aspherical lenses that reduce chromatic aberrations.
Another aspect that makes the Forster 8/10 x 42 binoculars an extraordinary instrument for observing birds and nature is its magnificent depth of field. In addition, the retractable rotating eyepieces and eye distance of this model offer maximum comfort to users who wear glasses.
The robust body is lined with non-slip rubber to protect it from drops and bumps. It is completely waterproof and watertight, and the interior has been sealed with nitrogen to prevent condensation in humid environments.
