National Geographic Binocular 8X42

The 8x42 are very handy versatile Roof binoculars: waterproof, produced, and crafted with high quality in mind. Twist-up eyecups adapt so the binoculars are easily used by observers with or without spectacles; diopter compensation is standard. The 8x42 has Bak-4 prisms and is fully multi-coated. This allows for color fidelity and high contrast. The objective cap system allows for quick opening and closing and can be completely removed easily. Furthermore, a tripod connection thread is integrated.

Higher magnification binos (10x+) have their place, but they limit your viewing area. For example, at a baseball game, you get a clear zoomed-in picture of the batter, but can’t see most of the field. These 8x42 birding binoculars provide users with a broader field of view, so you get to see a close-up of all the action.

These high-power binoculars provide minimal image shake and can be used by anyone that wears eyeglasses. They’re ideal for hunting, bird watching, whale watching, cruises, hiking, concerts, sports events, plane spotting, and loads more.
