Outfitted with a magnification and objective lens diameter favored by birders, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Opticron 8x42 Adventurer II WP Binoculars feature moderate magnification for bringing subjects in close, and an objective lens diameter that provides extended performance in low light without excessive bulk. Outfitted with BAK4 roof prisms and fully multicoated optics, they deliver high-contrast images that are bright and clear with accurate color representation. An exceptionally long eye relief helps boost the comfort-level during extended observation sessions and reduces eye fatigue.

The compact design of the prism system ensures a slim form-factor for easy packing and carrying, and the body is made using both aluminum and polycarbonate to make them strong and durable. The entire optic is designed with a neutral weight distribution that ensures the center of gravity sits naturally in the hand to help prevent arm fatigue. Protective rubber armor and raised palm pads provide a slip-resistant grip, while their large textured focus wheel makes them easy to use — especially in cold and wet weather, or when wearing gloves. The optical tubes are O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature and environmental conditions. Tethered objective lens caps ensure they are close at hand when needed and the one-piece ocular rainguard allows for fast deployment in the field.

Optical Performance
  • 8x magnification enables observation of subjects without sacrificing exit pupil diameter
  • Large 42mm objective lenses draw in more light for better viewing in low-light conditions
  • Compact roof prisms help keep the form-factor slim for easy pack and carry while being comfortable to hold
  • BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp, clear image with limited edge distortion
  • Antireflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission to help produce accurate color fidelity as well as improve contrast and brightness
  • 357' field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
  • Closed-bridge configuration adds stability while providing a solid platform for the focusing mechanism
  • Large, textured slip-resistant focusing knob is easy to manipulate precisely, even while wearing gloves
  • ±2 right-eye dioptric correction for precise focus adjustment to most user's individual prescription
  • 56-73mm interpupillary adjustment range
  • Twist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
  • Tripod mountable with optional adapter for hands-free use and reduced arm fatigue, vibrations
  • Long 20mm eye relief makes long-duration observation sessions comfortable with reduced eye strain
  • Wide 5.25mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open and dilate in low light
Construction Details
  • Lightweight and sturdy aluminum and polycarbonate construction
  • Neutral balance makes them comfortable in the hand to reduce fatigue during long glassing sessions without a support system
  • O-ring sealed to be waterproof and nitrogen-filled for resistance to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes
  • Protective rubber armor provides a slip-resistant grip
  • Textured palm pads improve grip security and stability—especially in wet weather
  • Tethered one-piece ocular rainguard and objective lens caps prevents their loss while staying close at hand
  • Weight: 22 ounces
