These Merlins are powerful and have  exceptional brightness. They are recommended mostly for distance glassing--shorebirds, hawks, falcons, eagles. They are also good for getting extraordinary close-up views at feeders and nesting, while maintaining good distance so not to spook birds. All Merlins are phase corrected and feature neutral fully multi-coated optics.

These binoculars include:

• A super-comfortable neoprene neck strap that is cushioned so that the already lightweight binocular will feel even more weightless. The strap features a quick-release buckle system and can be removed instantly for cleaning or replacement.

• A rain-guard, probably one of the most important standard accessories. It will keep rain, moisture and dust off the eyepiece (ocular lenses) so you get clear views every time. The rain-guard attaches to the strap, so you won’t lose it, and slides on and off easily.

• Objective caps which grip to the lenses securely and are also quick-release detachable, if you should want to remove them.

• A case. The case is very unique feature in itself. It is a thermo-formed PVC that basically adds about another cushioning layer to the outside of the binocular. The attractive sleek design looks good and is perfect for travel. A strap for the case is also included.

• This model is tripod mountable and is threaded in the center-hinge assembly in the standard  -20 tripod threading size. Simply unscrew the cover cap and attach a tripod adapter which will attach to tripod or viewing post.
