Orion Scenix binoculars have always offered superior optical and mechanical quality compared to brands you find at most retail stores. And now Scenix binoculars are even better, incorporating porro prisms made from high-grade BAK-4 optical glass. These are the same prisms found in binoculars that sell for as much as four times the price.

You just can't beat Scenix for all-around value. Common, low-priced "mass market" binoculars have to cut corners by coating only one or two visible optical surfaces with antireflection coatings (and leaving many uncoated), by allowing looser tolerances on optical matching and alignment, and by employing poor-quality mechanical components.

Scenix binoculars are different. Every air-to-glass surface is antireflection coated, and the objective lenses are even multi-coated for additional light transmission. And Orion doesn't use gimmicky "ruby" coatings like you find on some brands, which only serve to turn images green!

These Orion Scenix 10x50 Wide Angle binoculars are perfect higher-power astro binoculars, equally well suited for long-distance terrestrial observing. Extra wide angle 7° field. Weighs 28 oz.

Their housing is constructed of sturdy metal, not plastic, and is armored with protective rubber. The large center focusing mechanism is the same one found on many more expensive binoculars.

These binoculars are rugged and reliable, delivering sharp images on demand. They include a vinyl carrying case, lens caps, and deluxe wide neck strap. They accept a tripod L-adapter (sold separately). Two-year limited warranty.

Media Buzz

Astronomy Magazine — April 2005
"I judged the Orion Scenix 10x50 ($90) a cut above the rest [other brands of 10x50 binoculars] for excellent image contrast and brightness. Focusing is smooth and precise, and images are sharp and clear."
