Alpen Optics 8x42 Apex Waterproof Binoculars

Outfitted with a magnification and objective lens combination preferred by hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts or its versatility and usefulness, the Alpen Optics 8x42 Apex Waterproof Binoculars will be your go-to optic for all outdoor activities in any weather conditions.

The Apex series features proprietary PXA phase-correcting prism coatings and HR metallic covered reflective prism surfaces that maximize light transmission and boost clarity and contrast. The prism coatings are complemented by anti-reflection fully multicoated optics which provide bright and clear high-contrast views with accurate color rendition. The 42mm objectives gather all the light needed to keep views crisp and bright in challenging conditions, such as at dawn and dusk, without being overly bulky or cumbersome. Their wide field of view helps to minimize the distracting hand-shake that is common with high-power optics and reduces side-to-side head movement while providing both long eye relief and a wide exit pupil.

Optical Performance

• Moderate 8x power magnifies images while preserving a wide field of view and exit pupil with a long eye relief for easier, more comfortable viewing
• 42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability, even in challenging conditions such as at dawn and dusk, without the bulk or weight of larger objectives
• Compact roof prisms help to produce a thinner housing size without compromising performance
• BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
• PXA phase correcting prism coatings improve contrast and clarity
• HR metallic prism coatings on internal reflective surfaces to limit light loss and maximize light transmission through the prism system
• Anti-reflection fully multicoatings improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrast
• Short 6.6-foot close focus distance is ideal for making detailed observations of small subjects like birds, bees, insects, flora & fauna at feeders and flower beds
• Wide apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience while reducing the need to move your head side to side to see the whole scene in front of you
• Spacious 426 field of view at 1000 yards
