2.3x40 Russian Binocular ? why ?

Posted By David Dean

Hi There,
Why would the Russian design and make a 2.3x40mm binocular ? That's was 2.3 power x 40mm objective
size. Why did they make these fine binoculars.
I am just looking for some input on these.
Yes I have some and they work nicly.
They are great for extra wide view of the
night skies such as the summer milky way.

2.3x40 Russian Binoculars

Posted By David Dean

They are opra binoculars :-)
They work great for viewing the constelations
with with there 28 deg viewing. If you see a pair
you may want to get some if you are enjoying your
other low power binoculars. Oh there is a influx
of 3x32 Russian binoculars, and they give nice
views of the night skies.
