Oberwerk 9x60mm BinocularsThis model of Oberwerk Binoculars has been discontinued and is no longer available. However, we offer other excellent models of Binoculars on our site at great price. Oberwerk 9x60 Binoculars - is one of OpticsPlanet.com constant binoculars best buys! We have recently added full line Oberwerk Binoculars to our already
wide
selection of binoculars, and the reviews and feedback on
Oberwerk Binoculars from the customers has been superb.
Oberwerk Binoculars are made in China, but unlike many
cheap binoculars from this country, Oberwerk Binoculars have remarkable performance
and quality for the price. Recently we have selected Oberwerk 9x60
binocular model as a
perfect choice for people who want to find an inexpensive way to start
enjoying astronomy while traveling. It means we needed a pair of
bright
binoculars that were still relatively small and light, but not too
powerful
so they could be handheld (we normally do not recommend binoculars with
magnification above 10x-12x for use without a tripod -
high power
binoculars
are harder to hand-hold without creating a shaky image). We knew that at
just over a hundred dollars shipped Oberwerk 9x60 binoculars would fit the bill for
most of our customers, and there are not many
astronomy binoculars that we
can find at this price. Since we were looking for something for
astronomy,
light gathering
was one of the most important qualities, and we wanted the
largest aperture we could get that would allow us to hold them comfortably
for at least thirty minutes. The 60mm objective lens, high-quality BAK4
prisms, and multi-coated optics of the Oberwerk Binoculars delivered
unbelievable view of the night sky! This binocular model, at our price
especially, is highly recommended for hand-held astronomy as well as use
in
low light conditions.
Oberwerk high-quality 60mm binoculars- at a 50mm price! That extra 10mm doesn't sound like very much- but 60mm objectives gather 30% more light than 50mm models (surface area = pi*r2). With that much extra light-gathering power, these are ideal for a low-cost entry into binocular astronomy. They are also excellent for birding, nautical applications, and surveillance. Not only do you get big 60mm objectives- you get the same highest-quality BAK4 prisms that are found in much more expensive models. All air-to-glass surfaces are fully coated to decrease light loss due to scattering and reflections. Objectives have highest-quality green/purple broadband multi-coatings, typically only found on binoculars with much higher price tags. All
Oberwerk binoculars have rugged rubber-armored metal bodies, all-glass lenses, right ocular diopter adjustment, brass 1/4-20 tripod adapter threading, case, caps, and strap.
