Remarks:

This 8×32 model (there are two smaller x32 and two larger x42 models in the MeoPro line of binoculars) features a wide 8.3 degree FOV that is even larger than that of Meopta’s top 8×32 model, the MeoStar (which has a 7.9 degree FOV). However, off-axis sharpness is clearly not as good as in the MeoStar. The MeoPro is well built, with good central sharpness/contrast, image brightness and CA correction, with little distortion (at the price of a pronounced globe effect).
