With its slim design and premium optical components, the 8x42 Natura BGA ED Binoculars from Opticron offers a wide field of view, a sharp image, and a feeling of balance and control in the hand. It features extra low-dispersion glass lenses, fully multi-coated optics, and phase-corrected, Oasis-coated roof prisms for brightness, clarity, and color fidelity.
Glassing in low-light conditions like dawn or dusk is enhanced by the light-gathering power of 42mm objective lenses. The 8x magnification provides plenty of detail at distance, but avoids the shaky image experienced with higher-powered optics. Complementing the optical performance is a broad 366 field of view, enhancing vistas and making it easier to track your target. Thanks to the long 23mm eye relief, you can enjoy the full field of view even wearing glasses. Three-stop twist-up rubber eyecups further accommodate eyewear and enhance your glassing comfort.
The narrow closed bridge affords a good grip on the textured rubber-armored optical tubes. Your fingers will easily operate the large center focus wheel and its integrated right-hand side dioptric adjuster. Designed for durability in the field, the Natura BGA ED s housing is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for waterproof and fog-proof performance in all conditions. Included with the binocular are two tethered objective lens covers, a rainguard for the ocular lenses, a strap, and a soft case.
