Opticron 10×50 Verano BGA VHD Binoculars

Description

Overcoming twilight photon loss and hand tremors during extended evening watches, the Opticron 10×50 Verano BGA VHD Binoculars provide high-magnification power and light-gathering capability for wildlife researchers and dedicated nature observers. Combining a 10x magnification with large 50mm objective lenses, this optical instrument yields a 6-degree actual angle of view, a 315-foot linear field of view at 1000 yards (104.6m at 1000m), a 5mm exit pupil, and an extended 22mm eye relief that guarantees an unvignetted optical frame for observers using eyeglasses.

The optical system features Opticron’s VHD optical train utilizing extra-low dispersion glass objectives alongside phase-corrected BaK-4 roof prisms coated with the Oasis 64-layer dielectric mirror matrix and broadband fully multi-coated elements. Enclosed within an alloy and polycarbonate micro-hinge chassis clad in textured soft-touch rubber armoring, the binocular measures 5.9 by 5.5 by 2.4 inches (15 x 14 x 6.1cm) and weighs 28.6 oz (811g). Nitrogen gas purging and internal O-ring seals prevent internal moisture formation and thermal fogging, while the central focus mechanism provides rapid focal response down to a short 4.9-foot (1.5m) close focus distance, supported by a -3 to +3 right-eye diopter ring, 4-stage twist-up eyecups, an interpupillary adjustment span from 56mm to 77mm, and standard 1/4-20 tripod threading.

Key Features of Opticron 10×50 Verano BGA VHD Binoculars

Engineered in Japan for low-light observation and long-distance identification, this 10×50 binocular pairs 50mm light-gathering lenses with VHD extra-low dispersion glass. Its nitrogen-sealed micro-hinge chassis withstands severe field conditions, while the 22mm eye relief and 4.9-foot close focus provide optical capability across varied distances.

VHD Extra-Low Dispersion Optics & 50mm Photon Gathering

The 50mm objective apertures collect photon streams in deep twilight, while the VHD extra-low dispersion glass elements eliminate chromatic aberration and color fringing around distant wildlife. Paired with Oasis dielectric-coated BaK-4 roof prisms, the optical system delivers high light throughput, high color fidelity, and edge-to-edge optical resolution across the full 315-foot field of view during dawn and dusk hours.

Balanced Micro-Hinge Chassis & Precision Focus Wheel

The 811 g chassis balances weight toward the palms, reducing muscle fatigue during extended periods of hand-supported glassing. The textured rubber armoring provides a tactile grip in driving rain, while the center focus wheel turns smoothly without play, driving internal optical groups from a 4.9-foot close focus out to infinity, supported by a 1/4-20 socket for tripod-mounted stabilization.

• Central focus wheel with fluid mechanical action and integrated -3 to +3 right-eye diopter dial
• Nitrogen gas filled alloy and polycarbonate body sealed against water ingress and internal fogging
• Four-position twist-up eyecups engineered to preserve eye relief positioning during movement
