Premium glass, a wide field of view, and a close-focus distance of just 6.6' make the Oberwerk 8x32 Sport HD II Binoculars a solid choice for hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts, not to mention sightseers and concert-goers. Antireflection, fully multicoated, extra-low dispersion (ED) glass with dielectric coated and phase-coated BAK4 prisms deliver bright, sharp, true-color images. The 62.4° apparent field of view presents a generous segment of the horizon and the 9.8' close-focus distance allows a good look at that nearby butterfly or bird. Designed to stand up to a lifetime of outdoor use, the Sport HD II features a lightweight, rubber-armored magnesium chassis and the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and resistant to internal fogging.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the lack of IS in this product a limitation?

A: Most of these binoculars do not have Image Stabilization. There are only a few brands who offer this setting. Since this model has a 50mm Diameter you should be fine holding it steady. Keep in mind though the more magnification it will take away that brightness factor. This model would be used for Hunting, or Stargazing.

Q: 2. Hi, I am confused between Celestron 8x32 TrailSeeker (which is Dielectric Coated and lite in weight) and Celestron 8x42 Nature DX ED (which has Extra-Low-Dispersion but no Dielectric Coating). The price difference currently is $30. Which one should I go for? Please help. Thanks Chy

A: The Celestron 8x32 TrailSeeker Binoculars (Green) with the dielectric coatings would be the better quality binoculars, but with a 32mm objective which is considered a compact binocular. The Celestron 8x42 Nature DX ED Binoculars while not as good optically have a 42mm objective for greater light gathering capabilities. I would suggest choosing the size you want first, and then take it from there.
