Barr & Stroud Sierra 10x50 Binocular - microglobe uk

The new Barr & Stroud Sierra range of binoculars are a blend of superb optical quality and rugged refinement that has produced an elegant range of binoculars that take the Barr & Stroud brand to new level of performance and sophistication.

OK you want the power of the 10x42 model and the light gathering ability of the 8x42 well you will find that, almost, in the Sierra 10x50 binocular. But as ever there is a trade off and this time it’s extra size and weight. The extra 10mm diameter of the object lens results in a lot more glass being used and larger lens barrels to accommodate the lenses. If lightness and portability are high on your requirement list then I would look at either the 32mm or 42mm Sierras, but if you just want super bright powerful binoculars, that don’t need you re-mortgage your house, look no further!

The Sierra range from Barr & Stroud binoculars feature rugged construction combined with brilliant optics. They are waterproof to a depth 1.5m of water for three minutes, plenty of time to retrieve them if you have dropped them in a stream or puddle. This requires a high degree of mechanical quality in the construction of the binocular which is evident as soon as you pick the binocular up or use the super smooth focus control wheel.

Fully Multi Coated optics are standard features of the Barr & Stroud 'Sierra' range as are BaK-4 phase coated prisms. This degree of sophistication ensures that as much light as possible is transmitted through the optics which results in a super bright contrast rich images of high colour fidelity for the user even in low light conditions where less expensive optics and coatings result in a dramatic loss of performance. For the comfort of the user thebarr and stroud binoculars are supplied with metal twist up eyecups that are rubber coated which make them equally practical for people to use with or without spectacles. The rapid focus mechanism takes the user from close focus to infinity in less than one turn of the focus control knob, which ensures that you can follow the action however fast it is happening.
