The Skypoint ED 10x42 pair of binoculars performed very well in our big 10x42 instruments test. Since that time there have been a lot of changes introduced to this series. As a result the casing is completely new and the producer started to boast about using ED glass in the objectives which is supposed to improve the chromatic aberration correction. The Skypoint ED series binoculars are Schmidt-Pechan roof prism devices. Their prisms, made of BaK-4 glass, are phase-coated and they feature one dielectric surface which is supposed to ensure the highest amount of reflected light. All air-to-glass surfaces of the tested binoculars are covered by XTR multilayer coatings (in fact the producer boasts of as many as 60 layers of those) so the transmission amounts to 99.73% on one air-to-glass surface. What’s more, the outer elements are covered by hydrophobic RainGuard® HD layers which task is to prevent the dirt from sticking to optical elements. The casing of the lens is made of magnesium alloys and covered by high quality rubber. It is also nitrogen-filled, rain- and splash-proof and its body is submersible to a certain degree. Buyers get a hard case, a strap and caps for objectives and eyepieces in the product bundle.
