Clear Views Across Changing Light
The 8x42 optical configuration balances detail, brightness, and a broad viewing area. A 345 feet field of view at 1,000 yards helps you locate and follow birds, wildlife, and distant scenery. The 5.25 mm exit pupil and fully multi-coated lenses support comfortable observation when light conditions vary.
