Olympus 8×42 Pro Binoculars Olympus

Brand new to 2018, the Olympus 8×42 Pro Binoculars offer Zuiko quality and utilise the renowned Olympus optical technology. These high-end binoculars feature a bright, clear field of view, sharp imagery and excellent close-up capability, and are waterproof and fogproof.

Delivering ultimate performance for birdwatching and nature observing, these awesome full sized binoculars are packed with cutting edge materials and features that are sure to wow even the most experienced optical users.

Extra low dispersion glass suppresses chromatic aberration and colour bleeding, and fully multicoated lenses offer fantastic light transmittance. In addition, dielectric multilayer prism coatings with a reflectivity of more than 99% are used on the upper surface of the auxiliary prism, keeping prism light loss to an absolute minimum.

Cutting-edge coating technologies such as the dielectric multilayer prism coating and ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optibal) Coating are used in lens coatings to increase spectral transmittance for a bright, clear field of view.

A close focusing distance of just 1.5 meters makes it possible to focus on and observe close subjects such as insects near your feet, and flowers blossoming on trees.

Not only are the Olympus Pro 8×42 binoculars designed to wow optically, they’re also designed with ergonomic comfort and durability in mind. The way the binoculars feel in your hands was given top priority during their design. A rubber exterior is used for a non-slip grip that fits nicely in the hands.

The waterproof construction keeps water out even when the binoculars are submerged at a depth of 1 meter for 5 minutes. The body is filled with nitrogen gas which results in an anti-fogging construction which prevents fogging when moving from one extreme temperature to another. This construction makes it possible to use the binoculars without worry, even in environments where sudden changes in weather occur. In addition, the objective lenses and eyepiece lenses are finished with an oil-repellent coating which makes it easy to wipe off water droplets or dirt on the lens surface.

A long eye relief and dioptric adjustments make for comfortable and clear viewing even when wearing glasses.

If you’re looking for the perfect bird watching binoculars that will allow you to observe their movements, expressions, and the way they live, then the Olympus Pro binoculars are your perfect companion for nurturing your powers of observation, and predicting subject movement.
