So there you have it, a nicely performing bino that feels good in the hands and is easy on the eye. Both the GPO and Opticron’s Traveller deserve auditioning before you make a decision at this price level. One small distribution complication to note is that for a time in Europe, GPO instruments were exclusively sold through RUAG outlets under the GECO brand, and indeed can still be found there. However, GPO is now building their own dealership network in Europe in which the same instruments can be found branded GPO, and it is one of these latter versions that I have in front of me. both products are called Passion; it’s just that one is the Passion ED, and one is the Passion HD. This review concerns only the Passion HDrequires about 1.6 turns of the knob, which is a little slow, but not obnoxiously so. This property affects how fast you can react to something

The exact wording here is important as it confirms that there are multi-coatings of an anti-reflection material added on all air-to-glass surfaces throughout the entire optical system. Other minor features of the Passion HD 10x42s are in the lens caps and rainguard, the strap, and the case. The objective lens caps are soft rubber covers mounted This comparatively wide view will most certainly be a benefit to birders, hunters and general wildlife observers who often explore wide open areas and observe subjects at longer distances (like at the coast, in the fields or hills example). adjust. This isn’t our favorite mechanism.

One of the joys of reviewing relatively high-end products like the GPO Passion HDs is that the quality of view is fantastic overall. The image is The astigmatism of the GPO is quite limited because the images of stars near the field of view centre are close to point-like. Still the GPO is slightly worse in this category than Swarovision and Ultravid. On the other hand, the Passion HD corrects coma better than the Leica but worse than the Swarovski. We didn’t notice almost any problems with the brightness loss on the very edge of the field.

Lesser quality roof prism binoculars will use silver or aluminum, which are both better than nothing at all, but certainly not in the same league as a dielectrically coated roof prism. Of course a start-up company with no optics expertise can have an existing model re-covered with new armour and logos and start selling. But this doesn't always end well. The GPO 10x42 Passion HD binocular is 'tripod adaptable'. What this means is that they can very easily be attached to a tripod using an ordinary tripod adapter that screws into the front face of the hinge after you have unscrewed and removed the dust cover.If you point the GPO binoculars at a bright source of light at night you might notice a slight contrast decrease along with spikes. The Conquest HD featured a similar effect but the Leica Ultravid BL fared a bit better; still all of these instruments lose to the Swarovski EL which had no spikes and the contrast of its images was the highest.
