Quillon Wren 7x35 binoculars

Specifications

Description

The Wren 7x35 is a Porro-prism binocular with 35 mm objectives and 7x magnification. Its 9-degree true field is very wide, which makes it a good binocular for sweeping large areas of the sky and for learning the constellations.

With 7x magnification and a 5 mm exit pupil, the Wren 7x35 gives a bright, steady view by hand. The whole of the Orion belt and sword region fits in one field, and so does the Coathanger asterism in Vulpecula. The Andromeda Galaxy shows as an elongated glow, and the brighter open clusters along the Milky Way stand out from the star fields around them.

The Porro-prism design gives a slightly wider spacing of the objectives than a roof-prism binocular, which adds some depth to daytime views. The BaK-4 prisms show round exit pupils, and the optics are multi-coated on the main surfaces. The body is splash-resistant but not fully sealed, so keep it dry and let it warm up indoors before you put it away.

At 600 g, the Wren 7x35 is easy to carry and to hand around at an outreach event. The 15 mm eye relief suits observers without glasses and some glasses wearers. The focus wheel moves both sides, and the right eyepiece has a diopter ring.

The smaller objectives collect less light than a 50 mm binocular, so faint galaxies and nebulae are harder to see. As a first binocular for star-hopping practice, or as a wide-field companion to a telescope, the Wren 7x35 is practical and simple to use.

The Porro design also keeps the price moderate for the optical quality. If you later add a larger binocular or a telescope, the Wren 7x35 remains useful as a quick-look instrument for checking sky conditions before a session.

About this configuration

All configurations of the Quillon Wren 7x35 binoculars share the same magnification and objective size; the options below change the package and finish. This package contains the binoculars with their strap, lens caps, and case, without any mounting hardware. Binoculars alone suit hand-held scanning of the Milky Way, bright star clusters, and the phases of the Moon. The ED version adds low-dispersion glass and full multi-coating for sharper star images toward the edge of the field.

Slate gray armor uses a slightly harder rubber compound that resists scuffs from tripod clamps and cases. The 2026 edition carries the optics over unchanged and updates small parts such as the caps and the case. The magnification, field, and exit pupil figures in the specifications table apply to every configuration of the Wren line.
