BL comfort bridge binoculars. The new metal
focusing wheel with rubber ribs is easy to use
and quick to adjust. It also features a finger-felt
marking for the infinity setting. By feeling the
actual setting, the user can quickly focus on the
game in view, even in twilight conditions. With
resting forearms, even the BL model with 15x
magnification can be moved quickly and stead­ily. As an alternative, the binoculars can be used
with a tripod that is attached to the tripod thread
using a quick-action adapter.

Argon filling on the inside of the binoculars pre­vents fogging of the glass surfaces and provides
permanent protection against corrosion. With
the extended eye relief, the entire field of view
can be enjoyed at all times, also when wearing
glasses. Twist-type retractable rubber eyecups
with individual click stops are another convenient
feature.

The BL binoculars come with a wide neoprene
strap and an ever-ready case.
