Newcon Optik - AN 20x80M22

Designed for use on the water or in extreme environments, Newcon Optik's black 20x80 AN M22 Binoculars feature an M22 crosshair reticle that helps users determine the range to objects and to approximate a subject's size. This powerful optic features large 80mm objectives and fully multicoated optics that maximize light transmission while minimizing light loss. The combination of optics and coatings produce bright and clear images even at low light. To help minimize the disorientation often associated with using high-magnification optics on rolling seas, the AN M22s have a wide 66° apparent angle of view. Each ocular is individually focused to achieve the sharpest possible images.

Complementing their optical performance is a housing that is designed to hold up to daily use in rugged environments. Their chassis is made of a light and durable magnesium alloy with a UV-resistant rubber armoring that provides a slip-resistant grip. The UV resistance ensures that the armor won't crack or fade over time. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to provide fogproof performance even with extreme temperature swings, and the binoculars are submersible to 20' for up to 30 minutes. Their broad -40 to 176°F operating temperature range allows them to function properly in the most inhospitable climates. Weighing over 5.5 lb means that visible hand-shake and user-fatigue can be concerns, especially for long observation sessions. It is for this reason that the center stabilizer bar has an integrated 1/4"-20 tripod adapter. Rounding out their usability is a long 16mm eye relief and fold-down rubber eyecups.
