The Opticron Explorer WA 10x42 ED-R binoculars offer a unique combination of quality, performance, and ergonomics in their price range. They are an ideal choice for anyone looking for ED glass binoculars with minimal chromatic aberration at an exceptionally attractive price, whether for travel, sports, or outdoor use.
The redesigned, sophisticated eyepiece construction delivers a wide field of view with particularly low edge distortion. Excellent light transmission, along with sharp and high-contrast imaging, is ensured by multilayered anti-reflection coatings on every air-to-glass surface. The Schmidt–Pechan roof prisms are made from BAK4 glass, a material widely used in premium binoculars. The prisms are, of course, also treated with phase coating and Opticron’s proprietary Oasis-C+ coating for brilliantly vivid colours. The field of view is 113 m at 1000 m, providing an impressively wide viewing experience.
The Opticron Explorer WA 10x42 ED-R binoculars have a 15 mm eye relief, making them suitable for eyeglass wearers as well; the comfortable viewing distance can be adjusted using the twist-up eyecups. The binoculars are nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging.
The housing of the Opticron Explorer WA 10x42 ED-R binoculars is made from lightweight aluminium alloy and finished with a distinctive, hand-filling rubber armour for comfortable handling. The 10-year warranty clearly sets this model ahead of the competition.
