About Kahles Optics
One of the lesser known optical Brands is KAHLES, yet this Austrian company is proud to be the world's oldest riflescope manufacturer and began life in 1898 when Karl Robert Kahles merged the Simon Plossl Company and the Opto-Mechanical Workshop of Karl Fritsch in Vienna to found the KAHLES Company. By 1900 Kahles introduced the legendary Telorar riflescope which was highly respected by hunters at the time also around the same time, KAHLES binoculars were first produced as well as astro telescopes.
Kahles no longer produce telescopes, but they do still make a small selection of high end binoculars, rifle scopes and accessories.
A fact that Kahles Optics can be proud of is that they are one of a select group of optical brands that still creates all their products on on their own unlike many brands that outsource a lot of production to cheaper countries.
The Kahles Binocular Range
KAHLES binoculars are designed specifically for hunting, but these atributes also mean that they make excellent birding, safari and genral use binoculars. The Kahles binocular range is small, with an 8x42 and a 10x42 model being their most popular. Both of which are produced from the highest grade materials to the industries tightest tolerances.
Kahles 42mm Binoculars
Kahles produce two full sized 42mm roof-prism binoculars, one with an 8x and the other a 10x magnifiucation. Designed specificall with hunting in mind, their tough, lightweight body with high end optics also make them ideal as bird watching, general use and full sized safari binoculars.
Both of these KAHLES binoculars are made from the highest grade materials to the optics industries tightest tolerances and feature shock and noise dampening armour made from natural rubber materials and coloured in Austrian Loden green.
The side palm swells and non-slip grooves provide a sure grip under any conditions and both Kahles binoculars are full waterproof and submersable. The shell of the body is constructed from a magnesium alloy that is both light as well as strong.
These Kahles hunting binoculars also have Phase correction coatings on the quality Bak-4 prisms and what they call their AMV anti-reflection coatings to help maximise light transmission between 500 and 540 nanometers for superior low light performance.
