Bresser Montana 8.5x45 ED Binocular 1701000

Bresser Montana 8.5x45 ED Binocular Review

These are the little brother to the Montana 10.5x45 ED, but they still have the same features and quality Hoya glass that Leica and Vortex use in their premium lines.  These have a better field of view than the 10.5x45, and the optical quality is superb for the price.  These binoculars will hold their own against the heavy hitters in the hunting and birdwatching categories and deserve a serious look if you want quality glass at an affordable price.  

Here's what one of our product reviewers had to say about the Montana 8.5x45:

"What strikes me when I first look through them?  The apparent brightness.  Apparent sharpness is excellent.  Contrast levels are very good and don’t change, for my eyes, under any evaluation condition.  Overall optical impressions are extremely pleasing.  I have no problem obtaining proper eye placement because of the ocular size and the eye relief level seems more than adequate for eyeglass wearers. The eyecups are tapered and very comfortable across the bridge of my nose.  My impression of overall build quality of this binocular is very good."

Bresser Montan 8.5x45 ED Binocular Overview

Bresser binocular’s aim is to magnify visual pictures.  ED glass components in the optical system and a new type of multi-layer coating for all glass surfaces, which minimizes glare and reflections, guarantee a color-neutral and contrast-rich image quality even in unfavourable light conditions. 

The fine-tuning TwistUp rubber eyecups allow you to perfectly adjust the distance between the eyes and the ocular lens.

Another distinguishing characteristic is the tripod socket on the front side of the middle axle.  All moving parts and the housing are made of Aluminium. The distance between the eyes and the ocular lens allows precise adjustment with the TwistUp rubber eyecups.
