Binoculars Praktica Pioneer 8x26 WP

Praktica Pioneer 8x26 WP Binoculars. The Pioneer series of binoculars is made with an emphasis on compactness and ease of use. The polycarbonate body with an open bridge has a lightweight double-hinged design, allowing you to immediately take the binoculars out of your bag and securely fix them even with one hand. High optical performance is provided by lenses with full multi-layer coating and BAK4 glass prisms. Praktica Pioneer 8x26 WP is an excellent tourist binocular that you can always keep at the ready.

Like many of the world's leading optics manufacturers, Praktica is best known as a manufacturer of high-quality cameras. Founded in 1949 in Dresden, East Germany, the company has produced over 100 different camera models, and continues to receive numerous awards for innovation and product quality. Today, Praktica has expanded its product range, successfully using its many years of experience in developing photographic lenses to produce sports optics.

The convenience of the Praktica Pioneer 8x26 WP binoculars design is achieved by a modern body design with two hinges (Open Hinge). Thanks to this design, the binoculars have become more reliable and easy to use. It is almost impossible to let go of the binoculars, which is very important for a hunter or tourist when moving quickly.

All optical surfaces of the binoculars (lenses and prisms) are coated with several layers of anti-reflective coating, which can significantly increase the light transmission capacity of the optical device to 95-96%. Barite prisms (BAK4 glass) have a certain refractive index, which allows for an equally bright and unobscured image across the entire field of view.

The polycarbonate body of the device is completely sealed, filled with dry nitrogen, and guarantees 100% water protection according to the international class IPX7, and also prevents fogging of the optics from the inside. Short-term immersion of the device in water will not affect its operation in any way.

The binoculars have all the necessary adjustments for comfortable use. Due to the design features, the interaxial distance can be changed in a fairly wide range. Sharpness is set by a large and informative central wheel. If necessary, you can make a diopter correction with a ring on the right eyepiece. Rotary-sliding eyecups fix the maximum pupil removal at a distance of 16 mm. Unlike many binoculars of a similar size, this model has the ability to mount a tripod adapter.

In the binoculars' kit, I would especially like to highlight the presence of covers for both lenses and eyepieces, which is not typical for binoculars of this size. In addition, the lens covers are securely fastened with rubber bands, they will not fall off or get lost, but can be removed if necessary. A wide neck strap significantly adds convenience to use, especially during long hikes when the binoculars hang on the neck.

Thanks to the ergonomic design, small size, good image and affordable price, Praktica Pioneer binoculars will undoubtedly be in demand among those who value space in their backpack and money in their wallet.
