Specifics: The KOMZ БОЦ 6x30 is a very rare wide-angle binocular that was only produced for a very short period of time in the beginning of the 1970s and is therefore difficult to find, even in its country of origin. In terms of design, it is very similar to the KOMZ БПШ 6x24 and appears to be its 6x30 variant. However, the optical properties of the БОЦ 6x30 are noticeably superior to those of the БПШ 6x24. In this respect, one could say that the БОЦ 6x30 is a truly high-performance binocular.

The БОЦ 6x30 has another special feature: it is specifically designed for eyeglass wearers and offers a correspondingly high eye relief. To compensate for this for those with normal vision, the БОЦ 6x30, unlike other binoculars, does not have extendable or rubber eyecups that fold over, but rather attachments to put on the eyepieces. Since these are not permanently attached to the binoculars, they are unfortunately at risk of getting lost, which is the case with this model.

The cyrillic characters mean:
Б - Binoculars
О - High eye relief for eyeglass wearers
Ц - Central focussing

I tried to make a list of all the wide-angle binoculars available. Here I have only listed binoculars that have at least a 6x magnification and a field of view of at least 9 degrees.
