Barska 10x42 ED Waterproof Binoculars Greenpresent clear and crisp high-contrast views with accurate color representation across a distortion-free wide field of view. This is accomplished through the use of extra low-dispersion (ED) glass, fully multi-coated optics, and BAK4 prisms to correct chromatic and spherical aberrations and reduce internal light diffraction while improving light transmission. Add to these performance features a short 6' close focus distance and a wide 65° angle of view, users are presented with an immersive observational experience.

To help improve grip strength and overall stability, Barska built this version with an open-bridge that opens the middle of the optic to allow fingers to wrap around the tubes, and dual hinges that support the front and rear of the tubes and keep the barrels parallel and aligned. To withstand the rigors of the trail, the chassis is wrapped in a protective rubber armor that is textured to further ensure a secure slip-resistant grip. The optical tubes are argon-filled and O-ring sealed to provide water and fogproof performance in all weather conditions and temperatures. The combination of optics and construction details make the Level ED binoculars an ideal addition to your kit, whether you're in the woods, on the range, at the stadium, or sightseeing around town.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are these suitable for eyeglass wearers?

A: For people that wear glasses with binocular I recommend an eye relief of 14mm or greater. These have a eye relief of 15mm The bear minimum.

Q: 2. Are these made in China?

A: Yes its made in China. Overall I am very happy with the binoculars. Brought it on African safari last month and really enjoyed using it to observe big 5 from dawn to night. I also bought a Vankey cellphone adapter mount for iPhone and used it to take mostly videos at the Cape of Good Hope and safaris. The image quality for videos is not professional quality but acceptable even on the big screen. The color saturation and clarity are not as good as the camcorder. Very slight chromatic aberration may be seen at the edges but not serious. Not sure if the German glass has same issue. I am not happy that the binoculars does not have a 1/4 inch adapter for camera tripod. Zeiss sells their version of adapter for over $200 which is ridiculously expensive. Why cant they tap a hole and put a rubber cap during manufacturing? I fabricated my own adapter using recycled wood and some Velcro for under $2 and it worked perfectly throughout the whole trip. Our safari guide even commented that it was the first he had seen the binoculars setup and was really impressed

Q: 3. lens caps?

A: The Bushnell 10x42 All-Purpose Binoculars (Green) comes with the front, and the rear lens cap. This manufacture doesn't sale the caps off the box. If you need replacements, the front diameter is 55mm and the rear diameter is 43mm.

Q: 4. Are they fixed focus.?

A: No. The 10x42 Endeavor ED Binocular from Vanguard offers an ergonomic, open-bridge design with a large, ridged, central focusing knob for less weight and greater comfort.

Q: 5. 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.
