APM MS 16x80 EDL APO Magnesium Series binoculars

Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2024 by RICHARD HARRIS, Executive Editor

Years ago, high-quality 80mm binoculars were often prohibitively expensive. Now, with the APM MS ED-L series, we provide top-notch apochromatic binoculars at an attractive price. Our 16x80 model excels in both optical and mechanical design. It features a 5mm exit pupil and over 30% more light-gathering capability than 70mm models, enhancing your viewing experience. The modern FMC coating ensures bright, contrast-rich images, capturing every detail.

APM MS 16x80 EDL APO Magnesium Series binoculars

The APM Magnesium binoculars incorporate premium ED glass (FK61) and BAK-4 prisms to deliver unparalleled contrast and sharpness across the entire field of view. Advanced coatings on all optical surfaces minimize residual reflections and produce true-to-life colors. The 23mm pupillary distance in the eyepiece design accommodates those who wear glasses comfortably, and the rubber eyecups are adjustable.

These binoculars are IPX-7 certified, offering complete protection against water ingress. They are fully weatherproof, capable of withstanding rain and submersion in water. The magnesium alloy body is lightweight yet durable, with rubber armor providing additional protection and a secure grip.

The minimum focusing distance is around 35 meters, variable with diopter adjustments.
