Comfortably walking the line between compact and full-sized models, the Meopta 8x32 MeoStar B1 Plus Binoculars combine well-engineered optics with a lightweight and easy-to-manage housing to produce an optic well suited for just about any glassing task-from sightseeing to hunting to birding to general nature watching.
Their smaller anti-reflection MeoBright fully multicoated 32mm objective lenses and Schmidt-Pechan prisms help to produce a compact form factor that delivers a performance on-par with larger models, presenting vivid true-color images that are bright and crisp across the entire wide field of view. Its objective lenses are further treated with Meopta s proprietary MeoShield and MeoDrop exterior coatings that protect the lens surfaces from scratches and makes cleaning oils and other contaminants easy without leaving residue. These coatings ensure the lenses stay free from imperfections that can interfere with your glassing experience and let you immerse yourself in the view.
Meopta designed the binoculars with ergonomics in mind to minimize user fatigue during long observations. Its large center focusing wheel is easy to use with either hand and a locking dioptric correction dial, located on the focusing knob, ensures precise focusing even if you normally wear corrective eyeglasses. The housing is made from a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy that is center weighted by the prism design, so they sit comfortably in the hand. Protective rubber armor wraps the body and provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet conditions. The housing is nitrogen filled and sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme conditions.
Optical Performance
- Size straddles the line between compact and full-size to offer the improved performance of the former without the associated bulk and weight of the latter
- Moderate 8x power magnifies the view while preserving a wide field of view and generous exit pupil to greatly improve the user s experience
- 32mm objective lenses offer low-light performance comparable to large 42mm models without the weight and bulk
- Schimdt-Pechan roof prism design allows for thinner optical tubes versus the more common Abbe-Koenig design, resulting in an easier-to-hold form factor without compromising performance
- Proprietary ion-assisted MeoBright multicoatings deliver 99.7% light transmission while suppressing glare
- MeoShield exterior coating protects lenses from scratches or abrasions
- MeoDrop lens coatings repel water and allow grease, skin oils, and surface contaminants to be removed without residue that can impair view clarity
- Short minimum focus distance of less than 6-feet allows users to make detailed observations of small birds, bugs, insects, flora& fauna
- Wide 64° apparent angle of view presents sweeping views of the terrain, limiting the need for the user to move their head side to side to see the entire landscape
- Spacious 417-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
- Large slip-resistant center focusing knob with A±3 dioptric correction dial is easy to manipulate in cold and wet conditions, even while wearing gloves
- Locking diopter sets the desired correction against accidental adjustment
- Wide 58-74mm interpupillary adjustment range
- Twist-up rubber eyecups for easy use with or without eyewear
- Comfortable 16mm eye relief reduces eyestrain during long glassing sessions
- 4mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in fading light to avoid vignetting of the view
