Passion ED 8 x 56 Binoculars

About this product

The GPO PASSION binoculars offer unparalleled value and performance, catering to users across all expertise levels.

The PASSION™ ED 8×56 model uses an Abbe-König prism offering high-quality light transmission. This alongside the contrast by large exit pupils delivers bright and crisp images both in low light and daylight conditions. The magnesium body, a rare feature in this price range, provides these binoculars with a lightweight but robust chassis. Focus is controlled on a knurled knob, allowing for both precise and rapid adjustments. The diopter adjustment is barrel-based and gives a similar resistance and smoothness of action.

The PASSION binoculars feature ED, multi-coated lenses and matched optics which deliver exceptional clarity and colour transmission. They also offer a wide field of view, high edge-to-edge sharpness and a close minimum focus making them unique performers in their class.

The 8x magnification that these binoculars provide is great for short to mid ranges with a wide field-of-view, this is at the cost of range as can be expected of lower magnification binoculars.
