Meopta has won the OpticsPlanet Brilliance Award for best all-around binocular of 2016. Online retailer OpticsPlanet reviews more than 2,700 brands each year and chooses finalists in multiple categories to highlight their best products. Their experts and customers then vote on the very best of each category. The Meopta MeoPro 8×42 HD won ‘Expert Choice’ for best-all around binocular and the right to bear the prestigious Brilliance Award seal.
“To be recognized as the manufacturer of the best all-around binocular of the year by OpticsPlanet is a tremendous honor,” said Reinhard Seipp, general manager of Meopta USA. “Our goal is to make the best optics for the money on the market today, and we truly appreciate the enthusiast feedback we have received for our efforts.”
Kate Hury, director of merchandising and supply chain management at OpticsPlanet stated, “Meopta is a fantastic partner to OpticsPlanet and supplier of quality optics. We are proud to have this brand as a part of our offering for customers who are shopping for outdoor and hunting gear.”
The Meopta MeoPro 8×42 HD binocular is lightweight, extremely durable and offers a brilliant viewing experience. Fluoride HD objective lenses and MeoBright™ ion-assisted multi-coatings deliver incredible clarity, superior color fidelity and edge-to-edge sharpness while eliminating chromatic aberration in the most challenging viewing conditions. This binocular’s wide field of view makes scanning varied terrain seem effortless, and its impressive low-light performance makes it easier to see more detail in challenging light conditions. The lightweight magnesium chassis is built to withstand the rugged conditions of the field and, like all Meopta binoculars, the MeoPro 8×42 HD is nitrogen purged and fully sealed for fog-proof, water-proof and shock-proof performance, year after year.
