A characteristic feature is the rarely used objective diameters of 58 mm, which, in combination with an 8-fold magnification, gives the exit pupil with a diameter of 7.25 mm. At the same time, it is characterized by optical efficiency at an elevated level of 95%. It is a pair of binoculars, which basically do not need to be presented.
