Vista binocular is like a good book: once you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down. And you won’t have to. That’s because they are unusually compact and lightweight for full-size binoculars, and their soft leatherette covering makes them a true pleasure to hold.Still, Vistas are remarkably rugged, thanks to high-quality, cast-aluminum alloy construction, meticulous workmanship, and strict mechanical tolerances. They’re made exclusively for Orion by Japan’s largest manufacturer of high-quality binoculars, and are among the few that meet Japan’s “Exceptional Inspection” industry standard. Serious binocular users, especially those who spend a lot of time in the field, demand no less.Optically, Vista binoculars really shine. They feature the finest BAK-4 glass porro prisms, and lenses finely ground and polished by expert optical craftsmen. Most importantly, the Vista’s optics are vacuum-layered on every air-to-glass surface with Ultra Multi-Coatings – the highest level of antireflection coating available. They provide a pronounced increase in the transmission of light through the optical system. The result is livelier images free of ghosting, deeper image contrast, and highly accurate color balance. The view through a Vista binocular is always crystal clear and sharp right out to the edges.Ample eye relief and roll-back rubber eyecups insure comfortable viewing, even with eyeglasses or sunglasses on.Big 50mm objective lenses and moderate 7x magnification make the 7×50 Vista great for low-light conditions and particularly strong for wide-field stargazing under dark skies. Large 7mm exit pupil is ideal for dark-adapted eyes with fully dilated pupils. Long 22mm eye relief allows eyeglass wearers to take in whole 6.0? field of view. Large, knurled focus wheel adds to the fine performance features.
