The APM MS 6×30 is a compact Porro-prism binocular that impresses with its particularly wide field of view and versatility. With 6x magnification and a 30 mm objective lens diameter, it is ideal for nature observation, hiking and exploring the starry sky.

Appearance and features

The binoculars feature high-quality BaK-4 Porro prisms and a full FMC multi-layer coating on the optical surfaces. This combination ensures a high-contrast, bright image. The field of view is an impressive 9.3° or 163 metres at a distance of 1,000 metres. This makes it easy to take in landscapes and vast swathes of the sky.

The 5 mm exit pupil ensures comfortable viewing even as daylight fades. Weighing around 560 grams, the binoculars are also light and easy to handle, making them ideal for longer excursions. The dioptre adjustment range of ±5 dioptres allows for individual adjustment to suit different visual conditions.

Of interest to amateur astronomers

The APM MS 6×30 is also of interest to astronomers. The low magnification makes it easier to locate celestial objects and provides a wide view of star fields. The generous field of view is particularly advantageous for observing the Milky Way, large constellations and finding your bearings in the night sky.

However, one should not expect miracles from 30-mm lenses when observing faint deep-sky objects. Larger binoculars are generally better suited to observing faint nebulae and galaxies. Their strength lies rather in providing a wide-angle view of the starry sky.

Fazit

The APM MS 6×30 is an interesting pair of binoculars for anyone looking for a compact, versatile instrument with a wide field of view. It combines a robust design with modern, multi-coated optics and is suitable for both outdoor use and stargazing.
