RICHMOND, Va. (Feb. 15, 2024) — German Precision Optics USA (GPO), a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality, affordable sporting optics, announces the expansion of its award-winning PassionÔ binocular line with the introduction of the new PASSION 15×50 HD binocular.
The PASSION 15×50 HD features all the bells and whistles that have made the entire PASSION lineup extremely popular. These include an incredible light transmission, 99.7 percent ags; Double HD glass technology; a great field of view with perfect edge sharpness; GPObright™ lens coating technology; center-focusing locking diopter; tough aluminum eyecup tubes; magnesium micro-bridge and body; waterproof and fog-proof; and PASSIONdrop™ hydrophobic coating. It measures just 6.9 inches long, weighs just 34.1 oz., and has a 266-foot field of view at 1000 yards.
“With its large field of view and overall slim design, the PASSION HD 15×50 perfectly balances high magnification, size, and weight,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA’s owner and CEO. “And while any 15X binocular is large – especially one with a 50mm objective lens — when compared to other 15X binoculars on today’s market, this GPO 15×50 is comparatively small. With its overall slim design and large field of view, we’ve created the perfect balance between magnification, size, and weight. It’s a package that will be especially appreciated by backcountry hunters who mount big glass on a tripod, as well as those glassing long distances across big ag fields, down powerline cuts, or over long valleys.”
The new Passion 15×50 HD binocular will be available at select retailers nationwide and conveniently online at www.gpo-usa.com for a suggested retail price of $1429.99. It will be available in Spring 2024, and like all GPO USA products, it comes with the Spectacular Lifetime WarrantyÔ.
