mayfly36 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Ive mistakingly put these as Bresser. these are the far superior "Barr&Stroud". THESE ARE BRAND SPANKING NEW, NEVER USED. PAID £149.95 +9.99 postage. WILL ACCEPT £120 POSTED.................REDUCED TO £100.POSTED. OR NEAREST OFFER......... New design top quality go-anywhere waterproof roof-prism binos. 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. The 12x50 Sierra is the most powerful binocular in the range, if power is what you want or need this is as good as a hand held binocular at this price gets! The trade off is that it will not be the best performer in low light and it will be harder to hold steady than a binocular with 10x magnification but with an apparent view at a 1000m of only 82m this is a stunningly powerful binocular. The Sierra range from Barr & Stroud 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. Top performance whatever the weather! We don’t expect that you will make a habit of dropping the binoculars into deep water but we do expect that you will want to use them in any weather the planet can throw at you, so you can feel assured that the Barr & Stroud ‘Sierra’ can take it, again and again. This ability is further enhanced by the binoculars’ rubber armoured body which protects it from shocks and knocks. Nitrogen gas purged The binoculars are filled with nitrogen gas which keeps water out and also stops the optics suffering from internal fogging in adverse weather conditions, this binocular is truly weatherproof. 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 the 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. Fast focus mechanism lets you keep up with the action The rapid focus mechanism takes the user from close focus to infinity in less than one turn of the focus control ****, which ensures that you can follow the action however fast it is happening. The Sierra 12x50 are supplied with carrying case, rain guards, tethered lens caps, straps and lens cleaning cloth.
