Product DescriptionEyeglass wearers know how frustrating it can be using binoculars. You have to take your glasses off with one hand and hold the binocular up to your eyes with the other. Then, you must lower the binocular and replace your eyeglasses to scan the scene again with just your eyes. Playing this on-and-off game gets pretty annoying. You've tried leaving your eyeglasses on, but it's like looking through a keyhole: you can't see the whole field of view. And you've tried to get by without your glasses, but everything in the distance is too blurry. Orion UltraView 10x50 Wide-Angle Binoculars are the answer. They are the ultimate in eyeglass- and sunglass-friendly binoculars! Their extra-long 22mm eye relief allows the full field of view to be seen with eyeglasses on, simply by retracting the twist-lock rubber eyecups. That's a real luxury! UltraView binoculars are also long on optical quality. Made exclusively for Orion by Japan's largest manufacturer of high-quality optics. UltraViews feature the finest BAK-4 glass prisms, and lenses finely ground and polished to exacting specifications. All lens and prism air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated, providing much higher light transmission than can be achieved with the standard coatings offered on most other binoculars. Colors are pure and images are tack-sharp right out to the edges. The large center focus wheel allows quick focusing with just a fingertip. The Orion UltraView 10x50 Wide-Angle Binocular features a much wider field of view (6.5 degrees) than standard 10x binoculars. Excels for high-power astronomy, long-distance nature observation, and hunting. 5mm exit pupil, 16 foot close focus, extra-long 22mm eye relief. Weighs 32 oz. The UltraView 10x50 binocular comes with a rugged soft field case, objective lens caps, and a deluxe wide neck strap. The binocular has a threaded socket to accept a tripod adapter.

Customer Reviews:* I have compared these binoculars with several others that I own, including an inexpensive pair of 10x50's. I did not expect to see as much difference between my old binoculars and the Orion Ultraview as I found. There really is a considerable difference when you buy a quality product. I am getting great views of star clusters, Jupiter's moons and craters on earth's moon. There may be better binoculars out there, but these certainly meet my needs and I feel I got my money's worth. * I've owned a pair for several years, and think that they're great. I've never star tested them, but stars come out pinpoint sharp, focuser is great. I disagree with the previous reviewer that they're for previewing before moving on to a scope: they're much better than that. They've got a 6.5 degree field of view, while most scopes have 1.5 degree or less (depending on how much magnification you're using). So they can see much wider things than scopes can see, like m31, which is more than 7 degrees wide (and is consequently dark and boring in a scope). Nice 50mm lenses for light collection.
