Easy to carry but offering hard-to-find optical quality, the 8x34 Passion SD Binoculars from GPO USA combine a compact form factor with the high light transmission that delivers a bright, clear view. The 8x magnification gives you a good look at the details of distant subjects, while still generating a broad 366' field of view. The lenses are fully multicoated with GPObright antireflection film and the Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms are treated with dieletric coating, both designed to enhance color and contrast while minimizing color fringing. The lightweight magnesium body is covered with rubber armoring for durability and a comfortable grip.
