The GPO Passion 8x56 Binoculars features ED lenses that reduces image distortion and colour fringing that occur as chromatic aberration found in cheaper binoculars. It features Abbe-Konig prism, superior to the Schmidt-Pechan prism which bounces light 5x rather than the 3x on the Abbe Konig. The result is a higher light tramission of 92% and better contrast, day-in, day-out. The GPO Passion 8x56 Binoculars is built with a high magnification, suitable for long-distance observation with a compatible tripod (adapter and tripod sold separately). It may also be used for general stargazing.
