The Barr & Stroud Sahara 12x50 is a rugged go anywhere binocular. This is a powerful roof prism design that makes an ideal for those needing more powerful binocular. The binocular focuses down to just under 2.5m making it ideal for naturalists and birdwatchers alike.
The Sahara range from Barr & Stroud feature rugged construction combined with brilliant optics. They are waterproof to a depth 1.5m of water for three minutes, plenty of time to retrieve them if you have dropped them in a stream or puddle. This requires a high degree of mechanical quality in the construction of the binocular
The binoculars are filled with nitrogen gas which keeps water out and also stops the optics suffering from internal fogging in adverse weather conditions.
Fully Multi Coated optics are standard features of the Barr and Stroud Sahara range as are BaK-4 prisms. This ensures that as much light as possible is transmitted through the optics which results in a super bright contrast rich images for the user even in low light conditions where less expensive optics and coatings result in a dramatic loss of performance.
For the comfort of the user the binoculars are supplied with twist up rubber eyecups which make them equally practical for people to use with or without spectacles to.
The rapid focus mechanism / knob takes the user from close focus to infinity in less than one turn of the focus control knob, which ensures that you can follow the action however fast it is happening.
The Sahara 12x50 are supplied with carrying case, rain guards, tethered lens caps, straps and lens cleaning cloth.
