Description
Emphasizing magnifying power and a bright image, the 10x42 Passion SD Binoculars from GPO USA deliver up-close looks at distant landmarks, natural features, athletes in stadiums, and performers at large venues. The 10x magnification is the highest you can use without needing a tripod, and those 42mm objective lenses admit ample light for a clear view. At he opposite extreme, the Passion SD is great for birding, thanks to its 9.8-foot minimum focus distance. The lenses are fully multicoated with GPObright antireflection film and the Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms are treated with dielectric coating, both designed to enhance color and contrast while minimizing color fringing. The lightweight magnesium body is covered with rubber armoring for durability and a comfortable grip.Optical Performance 10x power magnifies images while preserving a wide field of view and exit pupil for easy, comfortable viewing42mm objective lenses gather ample light for a clear view, even in low-light circumstancesSlim roof prisms contribute to the small housing size without compromising performanceDielectric-coated BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortionAntireflection fully multicoated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrastShort 9.8' close focus distance is ideal for observing nearby birds, insects, flora & fauna at feeders and flower bedsUse and Handling Open bridge configuration reduces weight without sacrificing stabilityLarge, slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, or when wearing glovesTwist-up eyecups accommodate people who wear eyeglassesRight-eye dioptric correction ensures tack-sharp views16mm eye relief reduces eye strain and increases viewing comfortConstruction Details Nitrogen-filled to resist internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in weather and environmental conditionsLightweight magnesium housing covered in textured armoring for a good grip in cold and wet conditions
