Optolyth Alpin 10x50

High quality West German manufacturer famous for there great range of scopes.

This 10x50 Classic is a narrow field instrument with a bright sharp and well controlled image to around 75% of the field. The long Objective bells feel a bit fragile, I'm sure a heavy bump would knock them out of alignment . Eye relief is good and the binocular is lightweight and described by a friend as "A bit cheap feel" to them.

 

To summarise this binocular is a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting wonderful things and was left a bit cold. The narrow FOV and average optical performance makes this binocular nothing special despite Optolyth's reputation.

Usable with Spectacles =Yes
