Opticron 8x32 Explorer WA ED-R Binoculars

Opticron employs a combination of aluminum alloy and polycarbonate for the chassis to reduce weight without sacrificing strength and overall durability. The body is wrapped with rubber armor to give protection from drops and impacts while helping to provide a slip-resistant grip-especially in cold and wet weather. Designed for durability, the housing is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance in all types of conditions. Included with the binoculars are two tethered objective lens covers and a one-piece ocular rainguard that attaches to the neck strap so your caps and covers are always within easy reach. Measuring under 5 inches in length and weighing well under a pound, these binoculars will be your constant companion from the backyard to the back country to the outback.

Optical Performance

• The combination of magnification and objective lens size makes these binoculars ideal for travel, long days on the trail, birding, and stalking through brush
• Moderate 8x magnification brings subjects in close for viewing without narrowing the field of view or shortening the eye relief, greatly improving viewing comfort
• 32mm objective lenses straddle the line between compact and full-size to offer the compact form factor of the former with the performance of the latter
• Compact roof prism light path ensures a slim profile without sacrificing performance
• BAK4 prism glass delivers a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
• Phase-corrected prisms increase image contrast and correct for chromatic aberration for true color rendition
• Proprietary high-transmission R-type prism coatings maximize light transmission, limiting internal diffraction and light loss
• Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast and improved color rendition and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view
• Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission to ensure bright and clear images with accurate colors and improved contrast and clarity
• Wide 62° apparent field of view offers sweeping views of the landscape, minimizing the need to move the head-improving viewing comfort and presenting an immersive experience
• Wide 408-foot field of view at 1000 yd

• Closed-bridge configuration provides a stable and strong platform for the internal focusing mechanism
• Large slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, even while wearing gloves
• Locking right-eye dioptric correction allows user to compensate for optical prescription to produce sharper views and lock the correction against accidental movement
• Wide 54-74mm interpupillary distance adjustment range enables easy use by a wide variety of users
• Twist-up click-stop eyecups for easy use with or without eyewear
• Integrated 1/4`-20 socket on front of center bridge hinge accepts an optional tripod mount for easy hands-free use to relieve arm fatigue and limit vibrations
• Long 18mm eye relief provides improved viewing comfort and reduced eyestrain during long glassing sessions
• 4mm exit pupil will most pupils as they open and dilate in low light to keep the whole scene in view without vignetting

• Compact&lightweight, measuring under 5-inches long and weighing under a pound, is optimized for easy packing and carrying without sacrificing performance
• Combination aluminum and polycarbonate chassis reduces weight without sacrificing strength or stability
• Protective rubber armor provides a solid and secure slip-resistant grip
• Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature and environmental conditions
• Tethered objective lens caps and one-piece ocular rainguard protect the lens surfaces without the fear of losing them when not in use
