Embark on your outdoor explorations with Celestron's Nature DX Black 8X42 Binoculars, a prize-winning choice for nature enthusiasts. Engineered with phase-coated BaK-4 prisms, these binoculars ensure vivid, true-to-life colors in every view. Their fully multi-coated optics enhance light transmission across the entire optical path, resulting in brighter, more detailed images.
These binoculars are designed to be eyeglass-friendly, featuring generous eye relief and sturdy, adjustable twist-up eyecups with multiple stops for a customized fit. A close focus distance of just 6.5 feet allows for detailed observation of nearby subjects, and they are also adaptable for use with an optional tripod for extended viewing sessions.
Celestron's award-winning Nature DX series is renowned for offering quality optics that rival more expensive binoculars, at an accessible price point. The 8x42mm model is perfect for various activities, from hiking to attending events at stadiums and arenas, offering close-up views without compromising on brightness or detail. They are particularly well-suited for nature observation and bird watching.
The Nature DX binoculars feature fully multi-coated optics, meaning each air-to-glass surface is layered with anti-reflective coatings to maximize light transmission. The high-quality BaK-4 glass prisms with phase coatings also contribute to the luminous, detailed images produced.
Constructed with a durable, rubber-armored polycarbonate housing, these binoculars are built to withstand the elements without being burdensome in weight. The design accommodates both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers, ensuring comfortable viewing for all. Additionally, these binoculars are waterproof and nitrogen-filled, making them resistant to internal lens fogging and suitable for all weather conditions.
The 8x42mm model offers 8x magnification, ideal for close-up views of distant subjects, while maintaining a close focus capability, perfect for observing nearby wildlife. This model is a favorite among beginner and intermediate bird watchers, thanks to its wide field of view and ease of tracking birds.
Included with the Nature DX binoculars is a comfortable carrying strap, and they are tripod-compatible for mounting on any standard photographic tripod, offering versatility for different observation styles. A protective padded nylon case is also included for safe storage and transport.
