Opticron Explorer WA 8x42 ED-R binocular

The Opticron Explorer WA 8x42 ED-R binoculars offer a unique combination of quality, performance and ergonomics in their price category, making them the ideal companion for anyone looking for a ED-R lens binocular with minimal colour distortion at an outstanding value for travel, sports and outdoors. The ED lens element, also used in premium binoculars, gives outstanding contrast and vivid colours.

The renewed eyepiece with its complex design guarantees a wide field of view, especially at low wind distortion. The excellent light-harvesting ability of the optical system and its sharp and contrasty imaging are guaranteed by the multi-layered anti-reflection coating on all surfaces, in addition to the Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms being made of BAK4, the same material used in high-end binoculars. The prisms are of course also phase coated and coated with Opticron's unique Oasis-C+ coating for brilliantly vivid colours. The field of view of the binoculars is 131 m at 1000 m, which guarantees a very wide field of view. The binoculars also have a close focus of 2 m, making them ideal for close-up bird and insect watching.

The Opticron Explorer WA 8x42 ED-R has a pupil distance of 17 mm, which is perfectly suitable for spectacle wearers - the comfortable viewing distance can be adjusted with a screw-on eye cap. The binoculars are nitrogen-filled to prevent condensation on the internal parts.

The housing material of the Opticron Explorer WA 8x42 ED-R binoculars is lightweight aluminum alloy that has a unique, hand-smoothing rubber coating for comfortable use.A 10-year warranty puts it well ahead of the competition.
