Orion Vista™ Series Binoculars

A Vista binocular is like a good book: once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down. And
you won't have to. That's because they are unusually compact and lightweight for full-size
binoculars, and their soft leatherette covering makes them a true pleasure to hold.

Still, Vistas are remarkably rugged, thanks to high-quality, cast-aluminum alloy construction,
meticulous workmanship, and strict mechanical tolerances. They're made exclusively for
Orion by Japan's largest manufacturer of high-quality binoculars, and are among the few that
meet Japan's "Exceptional Inspection" industry standard. Serious binocular users, especially
those who spend a lot of time in the field, demand no less.

Ultra Multi-Coatings Show You the Light!
Optically, Vista binoculars really shine. They feature the finest BAK-4 glass porro prisms, and
lenses finely ground and polished by expert optical craftsmen. Most importantly, the Vista's
optics are vacuum-layered on every air-to-glass surface with Ultra Multi-Coatings™ - the
highest level of antireflection coating available. They provide a pronounced increase in the
transmission of light through the optical system. The result is livelier images free of ghosting,
deeper image contrast, and highly accurate color balance. The view through a Vista binocular
is always crystal clear and sharp right out to the edges.

Ample eye relief and roll-back rubber eyecups insure comfortable viewing, even with
eyeglasses or sunglasses on.

All models include a deluxe hard carrying case, wide woven neck strap, and lens caps. And
all are threaded for a tripod adapter. Twenty-year limited warranty.

8x42 Vista
We're convinced you can't buy a better all-around binocular for the money than the Vista 8x42.
It's the perfect choice for the demanding requirements of advanced birding and nature
observation. Remarkably small and lightweight (just 22 oz.), with a delightful featherweight feel
treasured by those who spend hours in the field.

Large 42mm achromatic objective lenses gather 44% more light than 7x35mm binoculars, so
images are bright even in dim twilight. Long 18mm eye relief and roll-back rubber eyecups
allow comfortable viewing even with eyeglasses or sunglasses. The 8x magnification is
preferred by birders who want a slightly larger image scale, but also easy hand-holdability.
Near focus of just 12'. Field of view is 6.5°.

Price - £189.00 + £10.00 p&p

7x50 Vista
Big 50mm objective lenses and moderate 7x magnification make this model great for use in
low-lighting conditions and particularly strong for wide-field stargazing from relatively dark
locations away from urban lights.

Large 7mm exit pupil is ideal for dark-adapted eyes with fully dilated pupils. Long 22mm eye
relief allows eyeglass wearers to take in whole field of view. Ample 6.0° field adds to the fine
performance features.Weighs 28 oz.

Price - £189.00 + £10.00 p&p

10x50 Vista
For nighttime observing where light pollution is a factor, the pupils of the eyes never become
fully dilated. Thus, a 7mm exit pupil, such as that produced by 7x50 binoculars, is not
necessary. The 10x50, with its 5mm exit pupil, makes a better choice. The 10x magnification
reels in fainter deep-sky objects and shows more detail.

The 10x50 Vista's sizzling optical performance and lightweight feel make it one of the most
popular astronomy binoculars in use today. Many telescope owners use it as a second
instrument, for wider-field scanning. And when the Sun comes up, the 10x50 brings distant
mountains, ships, and wildlife seemingly within arm¹s reach! 5.3° field of view, 16mm eye
relief. Weighs 28 oz.

Price - £189.00 + £10.00 p&p
