The Maven B.1.2 is an updated version of Maven's flagship B.1 binocular, an 8x42 roof-prism optic built for hunting, birding and general wildlife viewing. It adds a wider field of view, improved coatings and a larger Schmidt-Pechan prism in a lighter, more compact body than the original. Maven positions the B Series as elite glass that competes with far more expensive European binoculars. Owners rate it highly, and its 19.3 mm eye relief and 3 m close focus make it easy to use with glasses and at close range.
