Eschenbach Festival binoculars Viva V6 6x15 (Electronics)

Customer Review

"Only" 6x magnification and a field of giant 157 meters to 1000 meters away - who is a little familiar with binoculars, expected as an easy-to-use visual aid for the typical mid-range at events from the theater to rock concerts. And just as is the matt titanium-colored Viva V6 indeed positioned by marketing. Those who prefer something more elegant, for the holding Eschenbach version Gala in white or black high-gloss finish ready. In addition, one expects from the name Eschenbach more than the minimum optical quality. Finally, each wearer knows the name of the highlighted area, where he not only stands for elegant and sturdy frames made of high quality materials, but also for innovative optical concepts.

To make it short: Unfortunately, the Viva V6 can not meet these expectations.

First: Given the price, it is understood basically by itself, but because it has apparently no one responded, I would note that the housing is not made of titanium, but made of painted plastic. Even though it in no way affects klapperig.

Far outweighs for me the "tunnel vision". The promised by the manufacturer field of 157 to 1000 meters brings the glass felt not even begin. I'd rather tap roughly 100 meters. This may address in the theater - in the football stadium there is a disaster, especially since the glass brings only little depth of field and focus can not be particularly good. The theater stage but it should be brightly lit, because in low light is at Viva's pretty fast zappenduster.

In practice falls on mainly that its housing shape makes handling unnecessarily. While it is elegant, yet constantly slips a little finger into the picture, because you can take it off because of the tapered front portion nowhere. The glass can be held only with two, at most three fingers pointed. Even this attitude is more elegant than stable.

Just stability but would need a so lightweight glass with 2.5 mm exit pupil urgent than anything else. The comparison may not be completely fair (because it costs ten times), but who does not want to believe it, take sometimes just once a Zeiss 8x20 at hand. Which has the same Autrittspupille but weighs a little more. Most importantly, it can hold so much better, that in spite of the higher magnification significantly less wobble.

By contrast, taking a neck strap supplied wrist strap or stiff and too short rubber eyecups which at least initially constantly by itself again fast forward (wearing glasses) have only marginal annoyances.

Conclusion: Low-grade pseudo-design product in which the shape of the function times thoroughly ruined.

All in all I think the Fujifilm Eventum 5.21 for FAR more recommendable product - at least for people who are more emphasis on usability compare to an elegant appearance. With only slightly larger dimensions it is clearly practical shape - and really provides a downright huge field. The exit pupil falls almost twice the size of 4.2 millimeters. This facilitates not only watching. At the same time much more light passes through the glass, which becomes significantly positive effect in the twilight. Certainly not at the usual in the event area distances - In contrast, the slightly lower magnification falls not on.
