The details
REVIEW YOUR EXPECTATIONS
A professional range of binoculars with objective diameters varying from 32mm to 42mm. The Falco features high quality glass components treated with KITE OPTICS MHR coating, resulting in light transmission values up to 90%. Color reproduction is perfectly natural and the image is characterized by a high level of contrast and focus depth. The aluminum machined chassis allows the Falco to be extremely light and robust at the same time.
The Falco responds to the new trend for high performing and pocket sized 30-32mm class binoculars. Just as the top-end LYNX HD+ 30, the FALCO 32 has a slim design, a short hinge, and weighs less than 500g. A perfect companion for all sorts of outdoor activities. The 42mm Falco is designed in the same way, and therefor in its 42mm class still a very compact and light instrument. Comfort is optimized with strategically placed thumb indents on all models.
Like all professional KITE OPTICS instruments, the Falco is built to live up to its 30 year warranty. High precision machining of the metal components ensures natural and fast reaction from the focus wheel. The instrument is fully waterproof, and gas filled to prevent internal fogging.

Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
