Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Ultravid HD-Plus different from standard binoculars in terms of glass?
These binoculars use specially formulated Schott HT (High Transmission) glass, which allows more light to pass through the optics, resulting in brighter, sharper images — particularly noticeable in low-light conditions like dawn or dusk.
Are the lenses protected against moisture and dirt?
Yes. The Ultravid HD-Plus features HDC multi-coatings for maximum light transmission and AquaDura hydrophobic coatings that cause water to bead off the lens surfaces, making them easier to clean and more resistant to fogging.
What is the benefit of the 50mm objective lens on this model?
The 50mm objective lens gathers significantly more light than smaller models (such as 32mm or 42mm), making these binoculars especially well-suited for observation in dim lighting or at twilight.
What type of prism system do these binoculars use?
They use phase-corrected roof prisms, which correct for phase shift to maintain high resolution and contrast across the entire field of view.
