Premium glass, a wide field of view, and a close-focus distance of just 6.6' make the Oberwerk 8x42 Sport ED Binoculars a solid choice for 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 64.8° 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. Designed to stand up to a lifetime of outdoor use, the Sport ED features a lightweight, rubber-armored magnesium chassis and the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and resistant to internal fogging.
- 8x power for magnifying the view while preserving a wide exit pupil and long eye relief to make viewing easier and more comfortable
- 42mm objective lenses for gathering the light needed to ensure views remain bright and clear even in challenging light conditions
- Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements for reduction of chromatic and spherical aberrations to produce views with true color rendition without halos, diffraction, or distortion across the entire field of view
- BAK4 prisms for delivering a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
- Dielectric prism coatings for boosting internal surface reflectivity for maximum light transmission through the prism with minimal loss and diffraction and improved contrast and clarity
- Phase-corrected prism coatings for minimizing internal interference to improve contrast, clarity, and resolution
- Antireflection fully multicoated lenses for maximizing light transmission to get bright and clear images with accurate color rendition
- Wide 64.8° apparent angle of view
- Closed-bridge configuration provides a stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
- Slip-resistant aluminum center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions, or when wearing gloves
- Right-eye diopter adjustment enables users to compensate for optical prescription for sharper views
- Wide 57-74mm interpupillary adjustment range allows easy use by wide variety of people
- Twist-up click-stop eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
