It's very rare and very difficult finde Septarem like this. Optically is very clear, sharp and bright.What makes the Septarem very special is that it is the rare civilian version of the legendary Carl Zeiss "NVA 7 x 40" military binocular, regarded as one of the best glasses ever produced at Jena and also as an all-time great military type. The Septarem clothes the very high quality military-grade optics in an attractive civilian market body, adding centre focussing for user convenience. In place of the rubber eyecups of the military type, the Septarem has totally unique pull-up metal eyepiece shrouds, left down for spectacle wearers, pulled up for other users. The binoculars retain the multi-element Erfle eyepieces giving a true wide angle view of 8.5 degrees, giving a panoramic view and also allowing fast acquisition of moving objects such as birds in flight, sports action of all kinds etc. The binoculars are very well balanced and produce an outstandingly clear, flat image. Low light performance is also excellent, as also found in the military version.Weight Approx. 1005g
