Bresser Hunter 8-24x50 zoom binoculars
Looking for a reliable optical companion that can handle early morning birdwatching as well as a mountain hike? The Bresser Hunter 8-24x50 zoom binoculars offer exactly the flexibility a modern naturalist or traveller needs. A zoom range of 8x to 24x combined with a 50 mm objective lens delivers exceptional versatility in a compact and durable body - at a price that will not disappoint.
Optics and image quality
The binoculars use a classic Porro prism design with BK-7 glass prisms and fully coated lenses featuring a blue anti-reflection coating. The fully coated optics ensure accurate colour rendering and minimise unwanted reflections throughout the entire optical system.
At the minimum magnification of 8x, the exit pupil diameter reaches 6.3 mm - a value close to the human eye's pupil in low light. The relative brightness of 39.06 and a twilight factor of 20 speak for themselves: these binoculars perform well even in demanding lighting conditions, such as at dusk or in dense woodland. The field of view of 3.77° (66 m at 1000 m distance) at 8x magnification allows comfortable tracking of moving objects.
Build quality and handling
The body is made from a combination of metal and plastic and is fitted with durable rubber armour, which provides a secure grip in any weather and absorbs accidental impacts. Fold-down rubber eyecups allow comfortable use both with and without glasses.
Focusing is handled by a central focus wheel that covers its full range in just a quarter turn - making refocusing fast and intuitive. The right eyepiece features individual dioptre correction to compensate for differences in vision between eyes. The minimum focus distance of 8 m is appreciated when observing nearby subjects such as butterflies or woodland birds. The interpupillary distance is adjustable from 57 to 72 mm, so the binoculars fit comfortably in the hands of both smaller and larger users.

Things to keep in mind
The binoculars are not nitrogen-purged and are not rated as waterproof. In heavy rain or wet terrain, we recommend protecting the optics and using the included case. The weight of 826 g reflects the robust build and the size of the objective lenses.
Who is it for?
This zoom binocular for nature and travel is an ideal choice for birdwatchers, hikers, sports fans and casual stargazers. Thanks to the zoom range, it covers situations where choosing a fixed magnification in advance would be difficult. Whether you are heading on safari, to a football stadium or along a forest trail, these binoculars will deliver a clear and detailed image whenever you need it.
