Six current binoculars in the test
Good looks, but also impact-resistant and waterproof: marine glasses have to perform well. What characterises mid-range products? Test
On top of this, a bearing compass is a welcome feature that turns the glass on board into a useful navigation tool. The test field comprises six products from the manufacturers Bynolyt, Fujinon, Minox, Nikon, Palby Marine and Steiner. The price range is wide and extends from 170 to 570 euros. But are the most expensive binoculars also the best? Is the quality of the cheapest binoculars sufficient? We analysed the marine binoculars in terms of resolution, parallelism, waterproofness and shock resistance as well as compass properties.
