Bresser Hunter 10X50

OVERVIEW

As a keen bird watcher, in the spring I decided to replace my rather tatty old (but dearly loved) glasses.

The local photography shop introduced me to the Bresser range, and despite my initial concerns over size and weight was 'sold with the Hunter 10x50.

These are a very reasonably priced pair, costing around £ 40. They have fantastic light transmission, and their fully coated optics produce an ultra clear high-contrast image replication, this is particularly suitable I find when using the higher magnification.

They are coated in a very tough rubber 'armouring', with rubber fold down eye cups and I currently use them on a mounted tripod for ease.

They are less portable than some of the smaller sets available, but if your objective is quality and high calibre zoom then I can thoroughly recommend them.

SUMMARY

Robust glasses, I find best used on a tripod because of their weight. Recommended.
