Meopta Introduces New MeoStar 12×50 HD and 15×56 HD Binoculars

HAUPPAUGE, NY, January 5, 2015 – Meopta, the industry’s leading designer and manufacturer of premium sports optics, is pleased to add two new high-performance binoculars to its MeoStar® line – the MeoStar 12×50 HD and MeoStar 15×56 HD.

These rugged binoculars are engineered to withstand the most extreme hunting conditions and are especially well suited for western hunters. Vast terrain requires exceptional glass, not only to spot animals at long ranges but also to assess their finest details. The new MeoStar HD binoculars deliver to the max thanks to the large HD fluoride objective lenses which eliminate chromatic aberration and provide spectacular image clarity and true, vivid color reproduction. The MeoBrightTM ion-assisted lens coating delivers 99.7% light transmission per lens surface providing exceptionally bright images in the most challenging lighting conditions. This gives hunters the advantage of seeing better, both earlier and later. Read more
