The Vanguard 10x42 Endeavor ED II Binoculars Reviewfrom Vanguard 10x42 Endeavor ED II Binoculars Reviewfeature extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and phase-corrected BAK4 prisms that work together to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, which produces images with true color fidelity across the entire field of view and enhanced contrast. Complementing the glass and prisms are anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics that improve light transmission for bright and clear images, with greater low-light performance.

An open-bridge design helps to reduce weight without sacrificing strength and provides a large surface area to hold. Pebbled rubber armoring helps to give protection from drops and impacts while helping to provide a non-slip grip. Designed for durability, the lightweight magnesium-alloy housing is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for fog and waterproof performance, and the three-stage click-stop twist-up eyecups provide a custom-fit eye relief for use with or without eyewear.

Q: 4. This on work at night?

A: Its large (for a 10x42) 4.2mm exit pupil and relatively high twilight factor of 20.49 indicate that this binocular is capable of providing above-average performance in low-light situations, such as viewing at or near twilight, but does not really qualify as a “night glass,” such as a 7x50, which is optimized for that purpose.

Q: 5. Is a case included in the box with the binoculars?

A: Yes, a nice case is included.

Q: 6. how are the EDII different from the ED?

A: The ED II binoculars have a high quality Japanese HOYA ED glass with a higher light transmission which results in better clarity and better viewing in low light conditions.

Q: 9. What's the main difference between this Endeavor II model and the previous Endeavor?

A: Hello, Thanks for the question. The Endeavor ED II series ushers in a new era of superior optics from Vanguard.
