Description of ๐Ÿ”ญ Athlon Optics Ares UHD Roof Prism Binoculars

ED Glass - ED glass gives you an image with little or no chromatic fringe so the final result brings a clearer and sharper image to your eyes. ESP Dielectric Coating is a multi layer prism coating that reflects over 99% of the light to your eyes bringing you a clear, bright image that displays accurate color reproduction. Advanced FMC - Advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses gives you better light transmission to bring optimum brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. Argon Purged - Argon purging gives you better waterproofing and thermal stability. Phase corrected prisms produce images that have better contrast, a higher resolution and better color reproduction.

Bulky and folded like a tank

Bulky and durable, unfortunately the so-called ED glass leaves a lot to be desired. The sharpness and brightness of the picture is not very good, Vortex Diamond HD and Nikon Prostaff are much better. That doesn't meet the high demands of Athlon, especially the latest UHD models.

Pros
  • camera and photo
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Athlon Optics Ares 8X36 ED Binoculars

Great pair of bins! Lightweight, very clear lens with a large field of view at 409 feet. The focus knob rotates smoothly with no judder or play. The eyecups click well and the diopters are good and solid. A good pair of 36mm lens cases are hard to come by unless you pay big bucks for Zeiss, Leica or Nikon. Athlon has a lifetime guarantee.

Pros
  • Binoculars
Cons
  • Legacy

Big but very clear

These Ares are amazing but not compact. The optics are almost identical to the Athlon Midas 8x42. Maybe the smallest is a little lighter. It's a little more convenient to look through them compared to my pair of Midas. I'm not sure what exactly it is. Not enough experience beyond ten meters so I plan to update this review when I have more outdoor experience and a varied experience with them. Thing is, they're huge compared to other 8x42s I've tried lately. But they are surprisingly clear. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Binoculars & Scopes
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
