General Purpose

Any binocular in the Magnaloux range with a magnification of 8x or 10x will be a good choice for general use. Points to consider are size/weight of the binocular against it’s brightness of image. Remember that a compact binocular is likely to be used more frequently than a larger one and that a binocular with a brighter image is better in low light.

    These excellent binoculars are fully waterproof and nitrogen filled to prevent fogging of the internal lens elements in cold, damp conditions. Phase coated optics give truly fantastic performance. They would be a great choice for bird watching and nature viewing.

    Testimonials For Magnaloux

    I must say the LC2 series which are nitrogen filled were fantastic! I packed a pair on one of my trips to Botswana and it proved to be a worthwhile investment as it weighs so little, so if you are lugging heavy bags, there is no reason why you cannot take this little beauty with you. I would strongly recommend the LC2's as a personal favourite.
