Maven C2 28mm ED Binocular (7x28)

Product Information

What is also important to remember is that image brightness and the performance of a pair of optics in poor light also depends hugely on the quality of the glass and optical coatings and not just the exit pupil and twilight factor formula. Good coatings on the lenses and the prisms can in some cases double the amount of light that gets through the binocular, when compared to those that have none or poor quality coatings. Whilst both the size and weight of most compacts is substantially less than your standard 8x42 or 10x42 binocular, in most cases the difference between a 21mm or 22mm binocular and a 26mm or 28mm one is not huge.

It doesn’t have objective lens caps which is a bummer because I found myself consistently and accidentally touching the lenses. A lens pen will work wonders in this case – and keep it on your person during use.

There isn’t much to say except for that it’s perfect for the job. This is very important to be aware of because your eyes require enough light for you to be able to perceive a bright, high-quality image.If you will be using your binoculars from an unsteady platform like a vehicle, boat or canoe – this is one of the main reasons why marine binoculars tend to have lower 7x magnifications. a b Humphries, Michael O.

This is one of the weaknesses you have to accept when choosing a compact binocular. In poor light, you will not perceive as bright an image as a larger binocular with the same or similar magnification.

Compacts are very versatile and ideal for general use, nature, sporting events, wildlife observation & birding at close to medium ranges: a b c Miller, David (2001). The Illustrated Directory of 20th Century Guns. London: Salamander Books Ltd. ISBN 9781840652451.Choose a higher power (10x or 12x)– If you are going to be out in the open and observing objects at greater distances. These higher power binoculars are more popular with wildlife observation and hunting uses than birding. Special Forces: Tout Sauf des Rambo". La Libre Belgique (in French). March 25, 2006.

What is interesting to me is that because of the lower magnification on these 7x28's, compared to my control 10x28's which therefore produce a larger exit pupil, I was half expecting to really see a difference in terms of brightness between these, but as I said to my eyes, they looked about equal. For Astronomy. Use a tripod with higher magnifications, but for handheld astronomy, if you want a clear view of the stars, keep the power down.
