You’ll see sharp details of distant objects with the 10x magnifying power, and the 42mm Objective lenses gather plenty of light for a bright image even in low-light conditions including at dusk, dawn, or under deep cover.
The ED Glass corrects for chromatic aberration to ensure accurate colours and high contrast, and fully antireflective-coated Optics maximize light transmission through the entire Optical path to make views appear bright and crisp.
Complementing the Optical performance is a housing that is built for a lifetime of rugged outdoor use.
The chassis is made of grippy, comfortable-to-hold thermoplastic elastomer resin.
The Optical tubes are nitrogen-filled to resist internal fogging from sudden temperature changes.
With the optional TP-3 adapter, you can mount the binoculars on a tripod for hands-free, no-shake viewing.
Whether birding, sightseeing, hunting, exploring the backcountry, or seeing the stage at a music festival, this optic will assure a great view.
Bright, Clear Viewing
The SD ED provides a bright, clear view of the subject with minimal glare and ghost images, thanks to the application of a full multicoating process to all lens surfaces, and a special coating designed to optimize light transmittance.
They also feature large, 42mm diameter objective lenses to deliver a bright, clear view even in unfavorable lighting conditions such as twilight.
