DDoptics Binoculars EDX 12x50 (51193)

DDoptics EDX Fieldstar binoculars are designed for comfortable handling and reliable performance in demanding outdoor environments. Thanks to their compact dimensions and relatively low weight, they fit easily into any backpack and remain comfortable to carry even on long tours. This makes them an excellent companion for hikers, nature enthusiasts, ornithologists, outdoor adventurers, foresters, and hunters.

The diopter adjustment, located on the right eyepiece, is simple and intuitive, effectively minimizing the risk of operating errors. Spectacle wearers can precisely adjust the eyecups to achieve the ideal eye distance without losing the wide field of view. The click-stop positions can be securely fixed, and the clearly defined mechanics prevent accidental adjustment.

Premium optics for brilliant image reproduction and high resolution
The EDX series is based on the classic Schmidt–Pechan roof prism system, but the glass types used have been completely redeveloped. The innovative ED (extra-low dispersion) glass reduces color fringing more effectively than earlier glass types, resulting in natural, perfectly balanced colors. The newly developed PHC140 phase coating suppresses 99% of unwanted wave-optical interference, preventing even the slightest loss of sharpness.

Innovative coatings for razor-sharp contours
Maximum resolution and freedom from edge blur are ensured by the DDlucid coating, applied to both roof surfaces of the prisms. This coating, derived from advanced Japanese photo-industry technology, is an evolution of classic extra-low reflection coatings. DDlucid is among the most effective binocular coatings currently available and is typically found only in premium binoculars.

Lightweight all-round binoculars, even in low-light conditions
During development, special emphasis was placed on achieving a very wide field of view. The EDX 10×30 offers a field of view of 120 m at 1,000 m, allowing a very large area—roughly the length of a football field—to be captured at a glance. Despite this wide view, image sharpness remains excellent right to the edges, with virtually no blurring.

Excellent close-focus performance
The close-focus distance starts at 1.2 m for the EDX 8×30 and 10×30 models. Even very nearby objects can be seen sharply and clearly, making these binoculars ideal for observing animals, birds, and insects. High resolution and minimal edge blur ensure that fine details are clearly visible.

Robust construction and advanced technology
The EDX Fieldstar offers outdoor enthusiasts a premium viewing experience not only because of its wide field of view, but also thanks to its advanced optical design. Dielectric prism mirrors provide total light transmission of more than 91.7%, while special internal coatings effectively reduce stray light. The diopter adjustment range of ±3.5 is positioned on the right eyepiece.

The shock-resistant housing, made from an aluminium alloy combined with reinforced polycarbonate, is protected by durable rubber armoring for improved grip and long service life. The adjustable eyecups are made from a robust metal alloy, ensuring wear-free durability and protecting the eyepieces. The binoculars are fully waterproof and fog-free, ready for use in all weather conditions.

Recommended applications by objective diameter

• 30 mm: Hiking, nature observation, outdoor use, ornithology

• 42 mm: Hunting, ornithology, dawn observation, safari use
