GPO Passion ED 8x42 Binoculars in Black

The GPO Passion ED 8x42 binoculars (product ID 47032379310387) deliver 8x magnification through a 42mm objective lens. That pairing gives you a 142m field of view at 1000m and an exit pupil of 5.25mm solid low-light performance for dawn and dusk use. The wide field of view makes tracking birds and wildlife fast and natural.

GPO uses Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass paired with a Schmidt-Pechan roof prism design. State-of-the-art multi-coatings across all lens surfaces push light transmission high and keep colour fringing to a minimum. The result is bright high-contrast images with natural colour rendition and sharp edge-to-edge clarity.

The entire housing is magnesium lightweight at 740g yet genuinely robust. A rubberised exterior adds grip and protection. The top-hinge design with a narrow barrel bridge gives a secure comfortable hold. Waterproof construction and nitrogen filling keep internal fogging out in wet or cold conditions. The well-positioned focus wheel is precise with no play. Eye relief is 18mm which suits spectacle wearers well.

GPO backs these with a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Customers who own Swarovski and Zeiss glass have rated these as optically comparable. For the price these deliver performance well above their class. Case and carrying strap included.

The 8x42 format pairs 8x magnification with a 42mm objective lens giving a 5.25mm exit pupil enough for good low-light brightness. ED glass reduces chromatic aberration so colour fringing around high-contrast edges is minimal. The Schmidt-Pechan roof prism keeps the body compact. Multi-coatings on all surfaces maximise light transmission. The 142m field of view at 1000m is wide for the magnification making it fast and easy to locate and track subjects in the field.

The full housing is magnesium alloy lightweight and stiff. A rubberised exterior coating provides grip and impact protection. Optical elements use Extra-Low Dispersion ED glass. The Schmidt-Pechan roof prism carries state-of-the-art multi-coatings. The body is fully sealed and nitrogen filled.

Use a lens brush or blower before wiping lenses with a clean microfibre cloth. Store in the supplied case when not in use. Keep the hinge and eyecups free of grit. Avoid dropping or knocking the body. The 10-year warranty requires normal careful use damage from misuse or neglect is not covered.
