"In summary, this is an excellent general-purpose binocular, exemplifying many of the virtues of mid-sized field glasses. It really does everything very well indeed, and in many circumstances greatly exceeds one’s expectations.
Highly Recommended!"
Review of GPO Passion ED 8 x 42 binoculars by Dr. Neil English
About this product
Model: gpo_passion_ed_42_8x42_blk
Part Number: B340
GPO Passion ED 42mm binoculars designed in Germany and manufactured to a very high standard.
Extra low dispersion ED glass with custom multi-layer optical coatings and Ѕсhmіdt-Ресhаn рrіѕms deliver very high optical performance.
Sharpness extends across almost the entire field of view.
Contrast and colour accuracy is excellent and light transmission is 90%+.
The body is built around a durable and lightweight magnesium chassis. Fit and finish is very impressive and tactile surfaces make them comfortable to hold for long periods.
They are also water-proof, fog-proof and have a water repellent coating on the objective lenses (rain drops roll off) so can be used with confidence in all weather.
