Cheapest ED Glass Binoculars

 

You are reading this article because you are looking for ED Glass binoculars and on this page you can find some of the best ED binoculars.

As you probably know, ED Glass optics outperforms standard BAK-4 prism.

Though BAK-4 prism delivers pretty good image quality in binoculars. Combination of BAK-4 prism and fully multi-coated optics provides crystal clear and bright image.

ED Glass binoculars go even one step further and deliver even better image, more colorful, brighter and more crystal clear.

The most obvious advantage of ED Glass binoculars is the image being free from chromatic aberration. Is it important?

 

 

I don’t think it’s critical but some people may be sensitive to this kind of thing.

Or some people may need high quality optics without chromatic aberration, especially bird watchers. If so, then ED Glass optics is exactly for you.

 

 

What is Difference Between Budget and Expensive ED Glass Binoculars?

There are actually two types of ED Glass binoculars. First group is not so expensive. You can find them all on this page. Prices range from $150 and up to $350.

Though I name this group as cheap binoculars, in fact they are not cheap at all. They outperform any other standard BAK-4 prism binoculars.

Expensive ED Glass binoculars range from $400 and up to $2,000.

The most expensive ED Glass binoculars come from

• Zeiss,
• Swarovski
• Bresser
• Pentax
• Vortex
• Maven
• Nikon
• Leica
• Meopta

 

 

These expensive ED Glasss binoculars produce better image quality.

But I can’t say the difference is huge though there is some difference not only in the image quality but in the overall quality of the body of binoculars, quality of the materials and ease of use and some advanced features.

As you probably understand, there must be difference between $300 and $1,000 binocular.

When it comes to optics, expensive ED Glass binoculars have apochromatic Lenses that considerably reduce chromatic aberration.

This type lens is used in the most expensive ED Glass binoculars.

In medium class ED Glass binoculars Achromatic Doublet – Compound lens is used to reduce chromatic effect.

It’s not as good as apochromatic lens, but still does a great job to reduce the effect.

 

 

Binoculars listed here can be divided into two groups:

• Binoculars $200-$250 – Budget ED Glass Binoculars
• Binoculars $280-$350 – Medium Class ED Glass Binoculars

First group is a staring point for ED Glass binoculars. Binoculars of this group deliver high image quality.

Second group is a little more advanced and delivers even better image quality.

Expensive ED Glass Binoculars listed below are the most expensive optical devices. Image quality is exceptional which is reflected in the price of each product.
