The diopter adjustment has been integrated into the central focusing wheel to ensure comfortable handling. If you do not compromise on the quality of your binoculars and are looking for an extremely fair price-performance ratio, you will find it here. Worth mentioning is the balance that also the high-magnification binoculars 10x and 12.5×50 have. Due to the optimized balance, the image unsteadiness has been reduced to a maximum.
