Vanguard Endeavor ED 8x42 Overview

The 8x42 Endeavor ED Binoculars from Vanguard offer an ergonomic, open-bridge design with a large, ridged, central focusing knob for less weight and greater comfort. The fully multi-coated extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lenses reduce color dispersion, provide high-resolution color, and increase light transmission, contrast, and clarity. Vanguard's V-Max Silver, Anti-reflection, and P2 Phase coatings provide near-perfect light reflection, which offers brighter, crisper images with sharper contrast.

The 56° angle of view, BAK4 roof prisms, and plethora of lens coatings make these binoculars the choice for someone who values low weight and high optical quality. Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed, the Endeavor ED is fogproof and waterproof to take on challenging weather conditions.

As an 8x42, these Endeavor ED binoculars provide a reasonable degree of magnification in a relatively compact device. The viewing angle is comfortably wide enough for distant scanning of shorebirds and unapproachable wildlife, and a very generous eye relief of 19.0 mm allows users a view of the binoculars' entire field.

ED glass lenses render the full spectrum of color
Ergonomic, open-bridge design for a comfortable and attractive form factor
BAK4 roof prisms with P2 Phase coatings provide high-contrast, high-clarity viewing
Twist-up eyecups and a singular ocular dioptic corrector simplify sharing of the unit
56° angle of view (AAoV) allows more landscape to be contemplated with one appraisal
V-Max Silver, P2 Phase, and Anti-Reflection coatings ensure excellent contrast, brightness, and clarity
Fully multi-coated optics mean multiple layers on all air-to-glass surfaces for a brighter, higher contrast image with less eyestrain

Vanguard Endeavor ED 8x42 Reviews

Vanguard Endeavor ED binoculars

B & H offered these binoculars at a great price. After reading the reviews i ordered the binos and they were shipped right away. The glass is crystal clear with sharp images and good color rendition, just a slight aberration at the edge . The open grip and locking diopter are a plus. The only glass I have to compare the Endeavors to are my pre Monarch Nikons [Japan Glass] and Stiener poro Preditors. The Eneavors are much better.

excellent binoculars
