The Barr & Stroud 'Savannah' 8x42 with its stunning wide angle performance is the optimum model in the range. At first glance of the specification details many people think that the apparent view of 143m at 100m must be a misprint – it isn't, and the first time you look through the Savannah 8x42 eyepieces you will realise what an exceptional binocular this is. If you are not impressed you must be very hard to please! Combine this wide field of view with the large amount of light that is passed through to the user's eyes, with the combination of 8x magnification and 42mm objective lenses, and you have clear bright images in high resolution and colour fidelity that mark this model out as special.
This combination is so important if the observer will be using the binoculars in low light conditions such as dawn and dusk when wildlife are on the move, or looking closely at a bird's plumage, to identify it's species, in dense foliage where the light is restricted. There is also the fact that 8x magnification is also relatively easy to hold steady without the need for additional support making the binoculars a joy to use.
We don't expect that you will make a habit of dropping the binoculars into deep water but we do expect that you will want to use them in any weather the planet can throw at you, so you can feel assured that the Barr & Stroud 'Savannah' can take it, again and again. This ability is further enhanced by the binoculars' rubber armoured body which protects it from shocks and knocks. The binoculars are filled with nitrogen gas which keeps water out and also stops the optics suffering from internal fogging in adverse weather conditions, this binocular is truly weatherproof.
Fully Multi Coated optics are standard features of the Barr & Stroud 'Savannah' range as are BaK-4 phase coated prisms. This degree of sophistication ensures that as much light as possible is transmitted through the optics which results in super bright contrast rich images of high colour fidelity for the user even in low light conditions where less expensive optics and coatings result in a dramatic loss of performance.
The 'Savannah' 8x42 is supplied with carrying case, rain guards, tethered lens caps, deluxe strap and lens cleaning cloth.
The Barr & Stroud 'Savannah' 10x42 is the in the range for those with a steady hand and a need for greater power. If you need to get that bit closer to the action and the drop in light transmission is not important, you may only use your binoculars during daylight hours, then the 10x42 is a good choice. It's no bigger than the less powerful 8x so it is equally easy to carry yet it packs that extra magnification that might make all the difference.

The Barr & Stroud 'Savannah' 8x56 is the optimum light gathering binocular in the range, the brightness and clarity of image truly has to be seen to be appreciated, words are not enough to describe the experience. Its 56mm objective lenses in combination with its 8x magnification makes this the model which passes the largest amount of light through to the users eyes, this is important if the observer will be using the binoculars in low light conditions such as dawn and dusk when wildlife are on the move, or looking closely at a bird's plumage in dense foliage where the light is restricted. 8x magnification is also relatively easy to hold steady without the need for additional support, such as a tripod, monopod or hide-clamp, in most conditions.

The Barr & Stroud 'Savannah' 10x56 is the in the range for those with a steady hand and a need for greater power who also need the brightest image they can get. If you need to get that bit closer to the action and the drop in light transmission that normally comes with increased magnification, is important, then your only option is to go for the greater light gathering power that a larger aperture object lens will provide, and then the 10x56 is a good choice for you. It's no bigger than the less powerful 8x56 yet it packs that extra magnification that might make all the difference.
The 'Savannah' 10x56 are supplied with carrying case, rain guards, tethered lens caps, deluxe strap and lens cleaning cloth.

Don't expect it to provide super bright images in very low light, but do expect it to bring you close up to the action where the power of the 12x magnification excels, and still give you sharp contrast rich images under normal daylight conditions that it's 56mm aperture objective lenses will provide.
