You take an allround binocular along when you don't want to carry a separate glass for every situation. It combines a handy size, balanced magnification and a bright, high-contrast image - for hiking, travel, hunting, sporting events and nature watching with the same device. A waterproof housing and non-slip grip hold up even in wet conditions and rough terrain. Instead of choosing between several specialist glasses, you have one glass that cuts a good figure in almost any situation and is ready for use at once.
What is an allround binocular?
A binocular deliberately laid out broadly, rather than optimizing a single discipline. Typical allround formats are 8x42 and 10x42: they bundle enough magnification, a wide field of view and an exit pupil large enough for use into dusk. The NOBLEX NF binoculars with Multitop coating deliver a bright, true-to-color image for this. The medium objective size around 42 mm is the compromise between light-gathering and weight, giving you a glass you carry on the strap all day.
Which magnification suits you?
For universal use, 8x to 10x are the best choice:
- 8x42: wider field of view, steadier handheld image - ideal for forest, nature and moving subjects.
- 10x42: more detail at distance - ideal for open terrain and judging game.
- 8x56: large exit pupil for maximum low-light performance from the stand.
Why is an allround binocular so versatile?
Because it's easy to carry and at the eye in seconds, yet still delivers a bright, detailed image - even as the light fades. What matters is:
- Bright, high-contrast image thanks to NOBLEX Multitop coating.
- Waterproof, nitrogen-filled housing that doesn't fog internally.
- Non-slip armoring and a handy weight for long handheld observation.
What should you look for when buying?
Besides magnification and objective size, a few figures decide everyday usefulness:
- Field of view: a wide field of view (in meters at 1,000 m) makes finding moving subjects easier.
- Close focus: a short minimum focusing distance is handy for butterflies and birds in the garden.
- Eye relief: rotating eyecups secure the full image for eyeglass wearers.
- Weight & armoring: a light housing with non-slip grip for long handheld observation.
Who is an allround binocular for?
For beginners and experienced observers alike. Instead of buying a specialist glass for every activity, an allrounder covers most situations well. NOBLEX E-Optics develops its NF binoculars in Eisfeld/Thuringia, in the heritage of Zeiss, Docter and Analytik Jena - so you're well equipped for hunting, sport and nature with one glass, without having to buy a specialist glass for every activity.
