Orion 10×50 Resolux Waterproof Astronomy Binoculars Review
Review of Orion 10×50 Resolux Waterproof Astronomy Binoculars.
Price: 279.95 USD
Manufacturer: Orion
Orion 10×50 Resolux Waterproof Astronomy Binoculars – Product Warranty: Two Year
Type of Product: Binoculars > Standard Size
Resolux binoculars are our new favorite astro binoculars (and equally superb for long-distance daytime viewing), combining high-resolution, flat-field optics with rugged mechanical construction and the strict JTII spec for collimation. They are fully waterproof, and nitrogen purged to prevent internal lens fogging. The BAK-4 prisms and advanced multi-coatings on all optical surfaces really drink in the light. The eyepieces focus individually, and with 18mm or more of eye relief on each model, even eyeglass wearers will see the full field of view. The Resolux’s all-metal housing is armored with thick rubber to ensure a secure, comfortable grip. Each binocular comes with tethered lens caps, heavy-duty tripod adapter, and neck strap. The 50mm models include a padded soft carrying case. Two-year limited warranty.

Price: 99.95 USD
Manufacturer: Orion
Orion Scenix 7×50 Binocular – Product Warranty: One year
Product Type: Binoculars > Standard Size
Orion’s Scenix 50mm binoculars offer the superior optical and mechanical quality you’d expect in more expensive binoculars but at a price that won’t break the bank. Scenix binoculars incorporate porro prisms made from top-quality BAK-4 optical glass. Moreover, every air-to-glass optical surface is antireflection coated, and the 50mm objective lenses are multi-layer coated for maximum light transmission. In Astronomy magazine’s April 2005 review of 10×50 binoculars under $100, the Scenix 10×50 was rated #1! The housings are constructed of sturdy metal, not plastic, and armored with protective rubber for a secure grip. Both modelsl include a vinyl carrying case, lens caps, deluxe wide neck strap, and a threaded socket for an optional tripod L-adapter. Put Scenix to use for stargazing, birdwatching, or any outdoor viewing activity. Two-year limited warranty.

Manufacturer: Orion
Orion UltraView 8×42 Wide-Angle Binocular – Product Warranty: One year
Type of Product: Binoculars > Standard Size
Eyeglass wearers love our UltraView series of binoculars not only for their 22mm eye relief but also their great light-gathering capabilities and superb optics. Just twist down the rubber-covered eyecups and, with your glasses or sunglasses on, you can still take in the whole field of view. UltraViews contain high-index BAK-4 glass prisms, and all optical surfaces are fully multi-coated for maximum light transmission and minimum reflection. Big 50mm objectives and generous 6.5-deg viewing field make UltraViews suitable for terrestrial observing and astronomy. The cast-metal alloy bodies are rubber-armored for water resistance and better grip. Each model is threaded to accept an L-adapter for tripod mounting. Nylon case and deluxe wide-neck strap are included. Ten-year limited warranty.
