This is already my second Levenhuk binoculars. The first one – Karma Pro 12x32 – I have had for over two years and am very satisfied with it – I haven't noticed any distortions or chromatic aberrations. I've had the Levenhuk Karma Pro 16x42 since July 2025. The magnification is excellent and it can be easily held in your hands. Unfortunately, my unit has a slight chromatic aberration that appears only on the edges of bright objects under strong sunlight. Overall, both models have served me well during several trips to the Tatra Mountains. I highly recommend them.
Binoculars from the Levenhuk Karma Pro series offer a fixed 8x magnification and a 42mm objective lens. With a wide field of view, they enable extensive area exploration and facilitate panoramic observation as well as tracking of moving objects.
These binoculars are filled with nitrogen to prevent internal fogging and condensation. Critical air-glass interfaces have been treated with anti-reflective coatings to minimize reflections and light loss. The twist-up eyecups provide easy adjustment of the distance between the eyepiece and the eyes.
A centrally placed knob with a non-slip texture handles the focus adjustments, while a diopter on the right eyepiece helps correct for differences between each eye.
The optical and mechanical components are enclosed in a sturdy, rubber-coated tube with a non-slip grip for a secure hold. The use of roof prisms ensures that these binoculars are both lightweight and compact, without compromising the large objective lens size.
Supplied with a carrying case, neck strap, objective and eyepiece caps, and cleaning cloth.

Great, lightweight and durable binoculars that are waterproof, ideal for forest hikes. With 16x magnification, the field of view is 63 m, which is quite a lot, and BAK 4 glass ensures very good sharpness. Compared to my other binoculars (Delta Optical Fores II 12x50 with an 84m field of view and Bushnell Legacy 1-22x50 WP with a field of view of 66m at 10x and 42m at 22x, weighing 968g), the Levenhuk is the lightest (weighs only 639g), brightness 6.89, twilight factor 25.9. Overall, this is a solid and durable mid-range binocular that is worth recommending.
