Description
Outfitted with an exceptional glass and prism system complemented by an array of optical coatings, the Alpen Optics 8x42 Teton ED-HD Binoculars will be your go-to optic for all outdoor activities in any weather conditions. The Tetons feature extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lenses in addition to proprietary PXA phase-correcting and SHR metallic coatings on the compact Abbe-Koenig prisms that maximize light transmission and boost clarity and contrast. Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics present you with bright, clear, high-contrast views with accurate color rendition free from distortion or color fringing. The 42mm objectives gather all the light needed to keep views crisp and bright in challenging conditions, such as at dawn and dusk, without being overly bulky or cumbersome. Their wide field of view helps to immerse you in the view and reduce side-to-side head movement while providing both a long eye relief and a wide exit pupil.Optical Performance Moderate 8x magnification brings subjects in close for viewing without sacrificing field of view or exit pupil42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability, even in challenging conditions such as at dawn and dusk, without the bulk or weight of larger objectivesCompact Abbe-Koenig roof prisms help to maintain a slim form factor for easier handling and carryingSHR metallic prism coatings on internal reflective surfaces to limit light loss and maximize light transmission through the prism systemPXA phase-correcting prism coatings improve contrast and clarityExtra-low dispersion (ED) glass objective lenses correct chromatic aberrations and fringing to deliver bright and clear high-contrast and high-resolution views with accurate color representationAnti-reflection fully multicoated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrastShort 6-foot close focus distance is ideal for making detailed observations of small subjects like birds, bees, insects, flora & fauna at feeders and flower bedsWide apparent angle of view minimizes the appearance of distracting hand-shakeSpacious 390' field of view at 1000 yardsUse and Handling Closed bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanismLarge slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, or when wearing glovesLocking right-eye dioptric correction ensures tack-sharp viewsTwist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewearLong 17.3mm eye relief provides a generous eye box that reduces eye strain and increases viewing comfortWide 5.25mm exit pupil will cover pupils and keep the whole scene in your view, even in low lightConstruction Details Lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant magnesium chassisNitrogen-filled & O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in weather and environmental conditionsTextured armoring improves improve grip in cold and wet conditionsStandard 1/4"-20 socket accepts an optional adapter for hands-free use on a tripodWeight: 36.8 ounces
