Opticron

With their 42mm objective lenses gathering lots of light and a moderate magnification that presents a wide exit pupil and long eye relief, the Opticron 8x42 Explorer WA ED-R Binoculars offer a superior viewing experience for a wide variety of applications, from hunting to birding and sightseeing. Extra-low dispersion glass lenses, antireflective, fully multicoated optical elements, and phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms with proprietary high-transmission R-type coatings work together to maximize light transmission and virtually eliminate chromatic and spherical aberrations, producing crisp and clear high-contrast images with true color fidelity across the expansive field of view.Opticron employs a combination of aluminum alloy and polycarbonate for the chassis to reduce weight without sacrificing strength and overall durability. The body is wrapped with rubber armor for protection from drops and impacts while helping to provide a slip-resistant grip especially in cold and wet weather. Designed for durability, the housing is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for fog and waterproof performance in all types of conditions. Included with the binoculars are two tethered objective lens covers and a one-piece ocular rainguard that attaches to the neck strap so your caps and covers are always within easy reach.Optical Performance Moderate 8x magnification brings subjects in close for viewing without narrowing the field of view and exit pupil or shortening the eye relief, greatly improving viewing comfort42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability versus smaller objectives while helping to maintain a compact form factorCompact roof prism light path ensures a slim profile without sacrificing performanceBAK4 prism glass delivers a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortionPhase-corrected prisms increase image contrast and correct for chromatic aberration for true color renditionProprietary high-transmission R-type prism coatings maximize light transmission, limiting internal diffraction and light lossExtra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast and improved color rendition and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of viewAntireflective, fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission to ensure bright and clear images with accurate colors and improved contrast and clarityRelatively short 6.6' minimum focus distance enables detailed observations of small subjects like birds, bugs, flora, and fauna at close distances including flower boxes and feedersWide 60 apparent field of view helps to minimize the appearance of the distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics393' field of view at 1000 yardsUse and Handling Closed-bridge configuration provides a stable and strong platform for the internal focusing mechanismLarge slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, even while wearing glovesLocking right-eye dioptric correction allows you to compensate for optical prescription for sharper views and to lock the correction against accidental movementWide 53-73mm interpupillary distance adjustment range enables easy use by a wide variety of usersTwist-up click-stop eyecups for easy use with or without eyewearIntegrated 1/4"-20 socket on front of center bridge hinge accepts an optional tripod mount for easy hands-free use to relieve arm fatigue and limit vibrationsLong 17mm eye relief provides improved viewing comfort and reduced eyestrain during long glassing sessionsWide 5.25mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open and fully dilate in low light to keep the whole scene in view without vignettingConstruction Details Combination aluminum and polycarbonate chassis reduces weight without sacrificing strength or stabilityProtective rubber armor provides a solid and secure slip-resistant gripNitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal
