Handling and Construction
The roof prism design keeps the binocular body relatively compact for a full-size 8x42 model. A centre focus wheel adjusts both barrels together, while the right-eyepiece diopter allows adjustment for differences between the user's eyes. Twist-up eyecups accommodate viewing with or without eyeglasses.
Rubber armour provides an exterior protective layer and a secure gripping surface. The binoculars are nitrogen gas purged and O-ring sealed for waterproof and fogproof performance. They are also tripod adaptable with a compatible adapter.
