Description
With premium lenses, a wide field of view, and a close-focus distance of just 8', the Oberwerk 10x42 Sport HD II Binoculars meet the needs of hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts. Antireflection, fully multicoated, extra-low dispersion (ED) glass with dielectric and phase-correcting coatings on the BAK4 prisms deliver bright, sharp, true-color images. The 65 apparent field of view presents a generous segment of the horizon and the close-focus distance allows a good look at that nearby butterfly or bird.The 1/4"-20 tripod socket will come in handy for long glassing sessions or when you need the binoculars held perfectly still.
