correction coating the user enjoys an image with
excellent detail rendition and also high contrast
in all light conditions. A nitrogen filling on the
inside of the binoculars prevents fogging of the
glass surfaces even with severe temperature fluc­tuations and also provides permanent protection
against corrosion. With the extended eye relief
the entire field of view can be enjoyed without
vignetting, even when wearing glasses. Twist­type retractable rubber eyecups with individual
click stops are another convenient feature.

The scope of delivery of

the BL binoculars also

includes a wide Neo-

prene strap as well as

an ever-ready case.
