    Rugged, premium binoculars

    Just think about having compact and lightweight binoculars, thoughtfully designed for relaxed birding. Would you want binoculars any other way?

    Superb ergonomics make the DLS binoculars feel as good as they look! You only need to wrap your hands around these armored roof prisms to feel the elegance of evenly balanced binoculars. The uniquely designed surface texture has the feel of high-grade leather, and extends a sure grip even with gloves. And, there's more:
  • Smooth focus with just the touch of a finger - fast enough to stay with warblers hopping as close as 4.5 feet, or swallows flying erratically out to infinity.
  • Optimum near-to-far focus travel reacts swiftly in 1.25 revolutions.
  • Soft, contoured eyecups can be locked in place when fully extended.
  • Multiple eye relief settings are accessed by twisting down the eyecups for wide, unobstructed views with eyeglasses.
  • Superb depth of field let you find and follow wildlife more easily.
  • Click-stop diopter control is conveniently located adjacent to the right eyepiece for precise adjustments for differences in your eyes.

    "The ergonomics are amazing!"

    The premium DLS binoculars are designed to meet the challenges of birding in any kind of habitat or lighting condition. Expect truly outstanding resolution and superior color fidelity because of the high reflectance ratio, 64-layer premium mirror-coated BaK-4 deviation prisms with the latest generation of phase corrected prism coatings. Consider what the Total Optical Performance System gives you for a very dreamy price:
  • Pure silver coated, phase-corrected prisms for the highest image contrast and resolution.

  • High-density prism glass and lens elements for exceptional image brightness and sharpness.
  • Twilight optimized multi-layered lens element coatings for optimal low light performance.
