All binoculars magnify the view of distant objects, but the 4x18 @Four Binoculars from Vixen Optics have a twist: they will show you a magnified view of an object less than two feet away. This 4x optic has a close-focus distance of just 21.7", so you can examine the details of wildflowers at your feet or a work of art in a museum. When you want to take in the big picture, the @Four provides a wide 528' field of view. Multiple layers of antireflective coatings and BAK7 prisms ensure maximum light transmission for a bright, high-contrast image. The center focus wheel is easy to reach, and rubber eyecups keep glare off the eyepieces for a cleaner view. At 4.4 x 3.3" and weighing just over 5 ounces, the @Four is easy to carry and comes in a pouch with a neck strap.
