What is the diopter adjustment range? The listed specs just states "yes" and the DX ED model says -3 to +3.

They do not state a numeric value for the diopter. It is adjustable but just + or - with no numbers.

Are the green #71332 and black #72322 versions optically the same? They differ in price and external appearance.
Asked by: Larry
According to Celestron, yes, the Celestron 8x42 Nature DX Binoculars (Green), MFR # 71332, and the Celestron 8x42 Nature DX Binoculars (Black), MFR # 72322, would be identical optically; they would have the same optical performance and optical quality. It is only the exterior/housing that varies.

Would these binoculars survive if they are fully submerged?
Asked by: Aghy
It depends on depth and duration. It would probably survive a very brief and shallow dunking. But unless they rate it for immersion, you have to assume water would enter.

Why does it say "close-to-midrange observations"? Does it mean that it is not recommended for infinity focus (e.g. stars)?
Asked by: Arash
The Nature DX 8x42 binocular's near focus is 6.5 ft (2 m) which is ideal for bird watching. While it can focus at infinity and be used for stargazing, larger aperture binoculars with higher magnification would be better suited.
