Arena 25x100

[Pathos73]

Hi all,

I have been gifted a pair of Arena Observation 25x100 binoculars and a Slik Pro 700DX tripod. I have trawled the internet, but have been unable to find any information on the binoculars. Could someone kindly provide me with any info on them, they seem pretty damn good.

TIA

Are they branded Arena or Eshenbach.

Can you supply an image?

[Pathos73]

The only marking on them is 'Arena Observation'. From looking around the web I came to the conclusion that they were made by Eschenbach, but couldn't confirm this.

[Charic]

They sure have many smaller models!

Still looking.

.........very little information on these bins as you said. I'm sure someone will find something?
Can you provide an image, sometimes the style/shape can help better identify a product or its clone?

[Pathos73]

Thanks for looking. I cant believe that will all the pages of info on the web that there is no mention of these binoculars!! ?

I was browsing between jobs today, iPhone got down to 2% so had to shut it down ( no charger with me, but good enough excuse to buy a new black braided lightning cable instead of the standard Apple white! can get some power from the radio's USB)  but yes, there's very little, in-fact I don't even see that Eschenbach  even make 25x100's.

......someone else will  no doubt come along soon with a list of links................maybe?

[Pathos73]

Fingers crossed. They may seem a bit much to start out with but a gift is a gift right?

[Charic]

Absolutely, especially when you credit them as "pretty damn good"

I'm hoping the clouds clear  tonight so that I can test my new fence panel screen, just using my 15x70's, see if there's any improvement over what I can see, given that the panels might just shield the stray lights a little better than what I'm used too!

[Pathos73]

Does that pass as a review? I'm still learning the ropes at all this.?

[Pathos73]

I too am hoping for a clear night. Had these bins for a few days now and I've not had a chance to see what they can do. Other than looking a hillside during daylight!

No matter what you receive or buy, if you think their good, you'll state their good, however, there are better binoculars out there?
However, go out and borrow or buy the better version and see for yourself if their really any better for your eyes! If they are you'll want to move on, but if not, you'll keep what works best for you.

I bought some cheap 15x70's and have often discounted them, then just like a telescope, used from a darker site, there's no doubt the image is better, but I still think these present binoculars in my case are holding me back, there's something not right? so I  want to obtain another set of 15x70's from a known, better brand, to further assess my requirement. 

[Pathos73]

Here are a couple of pics showing the only branding on the bins. I hope these are able to help.

I stopped looking Saturday night, found nothing ?
They do look nice! Maybe now someone may see some similarity to another brand possibly, in order to identify and achieve the aim of getting some sort of .pdf document with the binocular specifications.

[Pathos73]

Thanks again for looking. Hopefully there is somebody out there who has seen these before or knows something about them. Would really like to know the specs/details.
