Celestron 8x42 Nature DX ED Roof Prism Binocular

Under the umbrella of Celestron's award-winning binoculars, the 8x42 Nature DX ED Roof Prism Binocular stands out with its advanced ED objective lenses. This high-performing optical device competes with pricier binoculars, offering superior quality within an affordable range. This versatile binocular is your perfect companion for a variety of activities, from nature observation and bird watching to sports events, providing a detailed, close-up view of the action.

The Nature DX ED's ED glass is designed to help you spot the most subtle field markings with a close focus of just 6.5 feet. The Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, a common visual defect in binoculars, delivering razor-sharp images even at the field of view's edges. Celestron's high-quality ED glass is known for producing images with outstanding, true-to-life color, offering visibly brighter, sharper images compared to non-ED binoculars. This difference is particularly noticeable in low light conditions, such as dawn or dusk.

The Nature DX ED features fully multi-coated optics, with all air-to-glass surfaces coated with multiple layers of anti-reflectivity coatings. This ensures maximum light transmission through the glass to the eye. The binocular's prisms are made of high-quality BaK-4 glass with phase coatings, reflecting more light off their internal faces and passing it through to the eye. Combined with the ED objective lenses, these features maximize light transmission for remarkably bright, highly detailed images, even in low light conditions.

The binocular's body is protected by a durable rubber armored, polycarbonate housing, ensuring your Nature DX ED binoculars are safeguarded from damage without adding unnecessary weight. The binocular is designed for comfortable viewing for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers, thanks to the durable twist-up eyecups. The binocular is fully waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging of lenses, making it resilient to even the toughest outdoor conditions.

The Nature DX ED 8x42 features a close focus of just 6.5 feet, making it ideal for viewing nearby subjects like birds, butterflies, and plants. For distance viewing, the 8x42 model offers a wide field of view, allowing you to easily track moving subjects with less need to move the binoculars.

The binocular comes with a comfortable strap for easy carrying and is also tripod-adaptable, allowing you to mount it on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping. The tripod adapter is sold separately. For storage and transport, the binocular includes a protective padded nylon case. With the 8x42 Nature DX ED Roof Prism Binocular, you're equipped for a wide range of viewing experiences.
