Garrett® Gemini 15x70 WP-CF Mk II Binocular

The Mark II version of our popular Gemini® 15x70 binocular is finally here!

Improvements over the last generation include:

All-new advanced optical design featuring a 5-element eyepiece that yields better edge correction and center sharpness than the previous model
Superior multi-coatings for >90% total light transmission (>99.5% per surface!)
Improved, sturdier center focuser with right diopter adjustment
Wider interpupilary range of 55mm to 73mm to accommodate more observers
Overall better fit and finish than the previous model

Our updated Gemini® 15x70 WP-CF Mark II offers build quality at a level far beyond its price point. It's a great choice for an uncompromising amateur astronomer on a budget.

Everything about these instruments says "quality." Their attractive rubber armoring and hefty all-metal CNC-machined and cast aluminum construction is guaranteed to last for many years to come. The optical quality measures up to that of the precision mechanics, which makes these excellent instruments for astronomical and wildlife observation. Fully broadband multi-coated optics and BaK4 prisms farther enhance the view.

Collimation can be adjusted by experienced users, if necessary. Each binocular is covered by our two-year warranty and 30-day return policy.

Every Garrett Optical binocular must pass a rigorous 14-point inspection that insures a high degree of both optical and mechanical performance, including accurate collimation. Any necessary adjustments are performed by a highly experienced technician on a U.S. Navy Mark V Collimator. An added perk is that every Gemini Waterproof binocular comes with a deluxe heavy-duty carrying case with durable PVC armoring and aluminum trim. The cases are lined with soft, "egg-crate"-style foam for maximum protection.

Our 15x70 WP-CF is a beautifully-made binocular, with optics and mechanics worthy of respect even when compared to much more expensive models. A 4.2° field and moderate weight of 4.8 lbs. make this binocular an excellent choice for lighter-duty mounts, when combined with an L-adapter (sold separately). It can even be handheld for quick looks. This CF version utilizes a smooth, sturdy center focuser assembly to provide the precision focusing essential for maxium performance on both terrestrial and astronomical targets.
