If there is to be something more in the 25er size, ie better transmission, further attention, agreeable insight, then this Eschenbach Trophy is a good choice. In the small nub here also the design makes very good. What makes this glass but now especially that I would recommend it?
First, the field of view: 8.2 °. That's a lot, 144/1000 m! In order to get at the same time on a very large subjective field of vision, which you would not expect in such a small glass. So you do not have a miserable little peephole. Particularly impressive I find the local area as 5-30 meters. Who wants to look his daytime garden with everything hangs out there on animals for which the glass comes in handy. This is gorgeous.
Second, the brightness: the glasses of the Trophy series are all very bright and with a glass of only 25 mm lens diameter can be of brightness reserves do not have enough. Sure, it's all about "night and twilight fit" among the binoculars fanatics and this is such a glass with 25 mm lenses now times not. I also have those 56 and 80 mm Boliden. But it is almost always underestimated how much one with a 25 or 30mm glass still looks when the sun is gone. Obscure as it is not in many, even in a moonless night. An Astro glass, however, is something completely different, as it deals with minimal differences in brightness to even a galaxy against the sky reason yet so just to be able to perceive. These are real border areas.
Thirdly, the insight is comfortable. If I hate one, it's having to constantly fight with lateral shadowing or when my eyelashes constantly scrape over the lens, because you have to actually crawl into the eyepiece. Especially in small glasses which is always a problem. Works here relatively well. Even with glasses, the glass is still good to use. The Okularmuschen are continuously switched on and ausdrehbar.
The fact that sharpness and contrast at a high level, I also rarely find on the other hand almost a matter of course in this price range and in small glasses so great problem. Chromatic aberration (color fringing) there is not zero. This is like looking through a telephoto lens apochromatic. With such small glasses for that is incomparably easier to realize than with large lens diameters. I can find on the optical quality nothing that serious to complain about. A Trinovid has a little more edge sharpness and resolution, but it would not be worth the additional cost to me. Not in a pocket glass.
Little inspiring are carrying strap and bag. Both are extremely simple style - similar to what is the Nikon Aculon here. The larger Trophy EDs are nice equipped. The lens covers, however, are much better than the constantly falling Nikon Dinger. Otherwise, the glass is waterproof and nitrogen-filled as now, most of roof prism binoculars. 330 grams is very little, but even heavier than the Nikon 8x25 Aculon. Access to prefer the model instead of 8 x 25 10 x 25 A so lightweight glass is hard enough to keep quiet (yes, too light weight is a hindrance). A 10 magnification increases only the wobbling so that you can see less rather than more details.
The glass I would already fit into the upper class of pocket binoculars. Since I take the patience of photo specialist retailers and optical shop in claim regularly, I have my glass there bought for 249th There of course cheaper, that's clear. But I would have also not done if I did not think that it's price well worth it. I recommend this glass therefore warmly all those who are looking for a "better" Pocket glass, without having to invest in a Zeiss or Leica (what I want but never stop!) But compare for yourself.
