Excellent optics for use in tough environments

The PRO binoculars for nature lovers stand out with multi-coated lenses and prisms for crystal-clear, extra bright and sharp
high-resolution images even in low light. Advanced coating technologies ensure superior transmittance across the visible range
resulting in lifelike images with more natural colours. ZERO Coating, developed for interchangeable camera and microscope
lenses, is applied to all lens surfaces to reduce ghosting and flares. The inclusion of an ED lens means that chromatic aberration
responsible for image blurring is kept to an absolute minimum. A closest focusing distance of 1.5m dramatically broadens subjects
for observation. Superb ergonomic controls and grip guarantees maximum comfort and steadiness when observing, even over long
periods of time. The slim, simple design resulting in a sharp profile line is the characteristic look of the OM-D interchangeable lens
camera and improves functionality making the PRO binoculars a joy to operate.
