The Montana-roof prism glasses known more for Chinese budget Optikvertrieb company Bresser undertook the risky attempt to mingle with the pro-glasses. It was originally of 998, for the Montana with 45 mm opening an EIA - scheduled. To say the least, a little more daring price for a Bresser-glass, even if the premium trendy glasses cost a lot more. But who ever invested so much money in binoculars, is usually a no risks and attacks equal to the prestigious and iconic brands and a high resale value. If already Rolls Royce, then also a true! And so eventually tumbling prices ... I have my for 389, - purchased directly from the manufacturer. Look and compare for yourself.
I have the 10.5 x 45 bought instead of 8,5ers. Normally I prefer a 8x magnification, but the glass is so well balanced and matched by weight, it is still quiet with 10,5facher magnification in hand. In a pinch, even with one hand. Try this with a few glasses with 10x magnification and you will see that there large differences in the "steadiness" are. Here you can experience the night sky a beautiful round slices Jupiter with its four major moons - if I have to sometimes without a tripod. Compared to a single-lens telescope, the "perceived" enlargement is about twice as large, so more like 20 times.
For me, unfortunately, do not stack dozens Swarowski reference Boliden, with whom I could compare, but with the better Zeiss lenses or the Nikon EDGS it holds well with eg. More you need really not to say, right? High transmission, nice subjective field of vision of an estimated 60 °, good sharpness over nearly the entire field of view, perfectly corrected CA in the image center (outside the center you can see then even slight fringing), virtually no curvature of field, proper collimation, pleasant insight, soft operating center focus wheel without Game and small amount of rotation, solid snap eyecups, verstellsichere diopter correction, magnesium housing, perfectly balanced, grease and dirt-repellent lotus effect coating on the glass surfaces (art?) leather case with magnetic closure, slightly elastic neoprene strap. The glass is advertised as a particularly color-neutral - I want to believe that love. If ever there is minimal heat more greens. Many will love also the focus quickly. A short rotation and the image is clear without a detailed follow-up and rantasten. It seems as if one had thought of everything, scrap are only the supplied eyepiece and lens caps simplistic art style (as with most Nikon) that fall down from the already should watch. -> Ton.
I will not dwell on Nicklichkeiten where that glass is perhaps a little sharper edge or better corrected out. At some point I see for me reached a level where those differences really are my sausage. This is material for heated debates in discussion forums that rarely come to a clear conclusion.
I want times quite cheeky and unorthodox say: I recognize a good glass at ease its use. Just ask yourself the following questions if you with numbers, data or hackneyed phrases like "knackscharf & brilliant" or even "HAMMER THE PART !!!" can not do much:
- Constantly feel perhaps yet again having to check the diopter correction?
- Or that a 1/100 rotation of the focus wheel in this or that direction could rauskitzeln more sharpness?
- Doubts as to whether the eye relief fit now really 100% or whether an adjustment might yet generates less shadowing?
- Always on rumrutschen / Move / spraining how to best see through?
- Distracted by any blurring at the edge, so that one wonders what would be there now actually see if I could see for it right?
- Where does the blue lubricating when I look at something bright?
- The glass is just not to keep quiet?
- Fear, the thing could slip out of your hands?
- Binoculars watching is just too cumbersome?
If you are foreign to all these little torments, then you have obviously already found a very good glass for your purposes. It does not inspire doubt These kinds namely. Man is looking through busy and not the technology. Feels the eye "probably" when durchgucken, it resembles small remaining error from happy. In this feel-good level but you have to come only once. If you should, however, be familiar to the above annoyances, try some games better. Maybe yes this, but all I care like a different Nikon Meopta, Docter, Optolyth, Kite, Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski, Steiner, Kowa, Fujinon, Pentax ... I have no contracts with anyone, sell anything and find a pair of binoculars is an individual thing, not unlike a pair of glasses. :)
The specification with 45 mm hole and 8.5 respectively 10,5facher enlargement is unusual. I know that actually only by Eschenbach Farlux 8.5 x 45 (what the prophets of doom the traditionalists despite a fantastic glass). Due to the excellent transmission results in a very night-grade glass that leaves many a not so joyous passage 10x50er look old - much as you like around reckon with exit pupil and twilight figures, only even trying out there really digestion. Assess what you see, not what would result arithmetically.
But is also very clear: Of course, this is not a Leica glass. That is especially time that it is not very stable in value and will probably fix it in 30 years no one can or. And you specify so can not also. From the optical performance, it is an absolutely convincing Universal glass - there is not as much room for improvement. At the current sales prices, it is actually a secret, who also deserve the name.
