Bresser Pirsch ED 8x56 Binoculars

The Bresser Pirsch ED 8x56 Binoculars (product ID 47032164843827) deliver 8x magnification through a 56mm objective lens. That large objective gathers serious amounts of light making this a strong performer at dawn and dusk. The 8x magnification keeps the image steady in hand and gives a wide 114m field of view at 1000m.

The optics use high-performance ED glass which eliminates colour fringing and produces sharper, more colour-accurate images. Barium-Kron glass in the prisms combined with dielectric prism coatings pushes brightness well above standard binoculars. Add fully multi-coated lenses and the latest phase coating and the result is a high-contrast, high-resolution image even in low light.

The body is fully rubber armoured for grip and protection. It weighs 981g. Argon gas filling keeps internal fogging out and the binoculars are fully waterproof. TwistUp eyecups adjust in two steps and give 19.67mm of eye relief comfortable for spectacle wearers. A wide carrying strap is included.

The 56mm objective makes this a standout low-light binocular ideal for wildlife watching at twilight. ED glass, dielectric coatings and argon filling make this a well-specified tool for serious use.

The 8x56 pairing gives a 7mm exit pupil one of the largest available in a standard binocular which is why this model performs so well at dusk and dawn. ED glass reduces chromatic aberration so colour fringing is eliminated at high contrast edges. Dielectric coatings on the Barium-Kron prisms reflect more light through the optical path than standard silver coatings. Phase coatings correct the wave shift that roof prisms introduce. Fully multi-coated lenses reduce surface reflections. The result is a bright, sharp and colour-accurate image in difficult light.

The Bresser Pirsch ED 8x56 uses ED extra-low dispersion glass for the objective lenses and Barium-Kron glass in the prisms. The body is covered in total rubber armouring for grip and impact resistance. Dielectric and phase coatings are applied to the prisms and fully multi-coated layers are on all air-to-glass surfaces.

Use a soft brush then a microfibre cloth to clean lenses. Never use paper tissue. Store in a dry place and use the carrying strap to avoid drops. Check the eyecup twist mechanism regularly. Keeping the rubber armouring clean and dry helps maintain the waterproof seal. Misuse or physical damage may affect any warranty claim.
