Why did I get a telescope? Because I was looking with my older 10×50 This Russian made binoculars from the 80's into the landscape and I was not very happy with the image quality. After all, the image quality is nowadays elsewhere thanks to new and modern technologies. Last but not least, my son and I like to go hiking and we usually don't want to carry heavy older binoculars, so we chose the Forester 8×42 and hope we won't be disappointed.. :))

lightweight robust quality binoculars with universal magnification and good twilight illumination
prisms Roof
baK4 glass
the interior of the telescope is filled with nitrogen to prevent fogging
multiple anti-reflex layer of FMC lenses
iPX6 waterproof
quite sufficient for normal observation of game and closer distant objects
the quality is certainly equal to some more expensive (branded) binoculars
Comparison with older RU telescope Tento 10x50. Forester "looks" better thanks to new technology
the lens caps are "attached" to the binoculars, they do not have to be removed separately
if I evaluate the telescope as a forester, good for me :))

8x magnification is too low for observing distant landscapes, a spotting scope is more suitable
or binoculars with higher magnification, preferably with a tripod
lens caps do not hold the lens hoods down and aperture lenses must be held on the telescope body when observing
it's about habit, it's not even a disadvantage
