These little binoculars were compared with Blackfoot 6×18 and Visionary EX 8×20 binoculars. First the downsides. The circle of vision is not as large as is desirable. Both the Blackfoot and Visionary have larger circles of view and are better for it. The hinge is rather bulky – when the binocular is folded the hinge sticks up and makes the binocular less compact than it could be. The other two binoculars have slimmer hinges and fold compactly. The prism alignment was not good on the first binocular. Eyestrain was evident. The second binocular supplied by the mail order company was better but not perfect, certainly not in the category of the best small binoculars. Good definition was evident mainly in the centre portions of the circle of view (fairly typical with binoculars under £[]). Now the good points. The BAK4 prisms give a good bright picture, brighter than the other two binoculars. Colour rendition is good with good contrast. (The Blackfoot has ruby coated lenses. Avoid ruby coated lenses, they give a washed out picture.) The Luger is strongly made and of an attractive appearance. There is little competition on the market. The Visionary 6×18 has BK7 prisms which are of lower brightness, some of the others have ruby coated lenses. Would I buy it again? Yes, but only from a mail order company willing to replace it if the alignment was out, otherwise if you can buy it from a shop then that’s the safer course.
