Description of πŸ”­ 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

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.
