Optical Performance
These binoculars feature 8x magnification and a 42mm objective lens, delivering a bright, clear image with a wide field of view. The use of ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and advanced multi-coatings ensures sharp edge-to-edge clarity and impressive light transmission, rated at 90%. With a field of view of 143 metres at 1,000 metres, they provide excellent spatial awareness for nature observation and general use. The 5.25mm exit pupil and generous 18mm eye relief offer visual comfort, even for eyeglass wearers.
