New-in box-Blaser Primus 8x42 binoculars. Made in Germany, Abbe-Koenig roof prisms. I bought 2 sets but my wife wants a set of Swarovski EL 8x32 so I am selling the pair I bought for her. They have never been outside.
The Blaser I bought for me (exact same model) I compared with my Meostars and a loaner set of Swaro ELs. These Blaser 8x42 are brighter than both the Meostars and the ELs in low light, probably because of the Abbe-Koenig prisms. In daylight the ELs still have a little better resolution and edges. The Blasers resolve about the same as my Meostars but since they are brighter it is easier to see details so the resolution might be a little better. Excellent focus, better focus than the ELs and the SLCs. About the same smoothness as the Meostar focus but much faster. These are incredible low light binos, I compared them with my Meostar 8x56 after dark and while the 8x56 lets in a little more light it was really close, almost so much that I might sell the 8x56. Even though the are not lightweight, they feel very balanced in hand and have lots of eye relief/placement. 424 feet/1000 yards nice wide view.
