Description
With their 42mm objective lenses gathering lots of light and premium components guiding the light to your eyes, the Opticron 10x42 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, anti-reflection fully multi-coated 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 to give 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 water and fogproof 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 Powerful 10x magnification brings distant subjects in close for detailed observation42mm 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 viewAnti-reflection fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission to ensure bright and clear images with accurate colors and improved contrast and clarityWide 65 apparent field of view helps to minimize the appearance of the distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics339' field of view at 1000 ydUse 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 user to compensate for optical prescription to produce sharper views and 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 vibrations15mm eye relief provides improved viewing comfort and reduced eyestrain during long glassing sessions4.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and 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 fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature and environmental conditionsTethered objective lens caps and one-piece ocular rainguard protect the lens surfaces without the fear of losing them when not in useCompact at just 5.5 inches longWeight 23 ouncesMade in Japan
