Hawke Sport Optics 8x42 Frontier Ed X Binoculars (green)
- Product Code: ga58848

With a magnification–objective lens configuration favored by professionals all over the world, the green Hawke Optics 8x42 Frontier ED X Binoculars deliver bright high-contrast images with true-to-life color and crisp clarity across its expansive field of view.
These binoculars feature extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass with phase-correcting and dielectric coatings on the BAK4 prisms. Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics round out the optical features, and when combined with the glass and prism systems produce bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate colors and enhanced clarity without distortion or fringing. The wide apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience with the ability to take in large areas without having to move.
A fast-focusing mechanism runs through the full focal range in just 1.5 turns of the large center focusing knob, making finding subjects fast and tracking moving targets easy. Designed to stand up to a life lived outdoors, the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to give them a waterproof rating of IPX7 and make them fogproof even when moving through extreme temperature variations. The chassis is made from a magnesium alloy to make them lightweight and corrosion resistant. Hawke includes tethered front and rear lens caps to add an additional layer of protection in the field, with the ability to quickly react to glassing opportunities without fear of losing the caps.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. I know these have custom winged eyecups as a separate accessory. My question is, do they have a matching rainguard like my Swarovski "WES" (Winged Eyecup Set) ?
A: The optional winged eyecups for the Leica 8x42 Noctivid Binoculars (Black) do not come with matching rain-guards.
Q: 2. Does this model have locking diopter adjustment?
A: Yes the Leica 8x42 Noctivid Binoculars (Olive Green), does feature locking diopter adjustment.
Q: 3. Does the carrying case have a shoulder strap?
A: The carrying case for the Leica 8x42 Noctivid Binoculars does not have a strap, rather it has cutouts to allow the binocular strap to be used while they are in the case
Q: 4. Are these labeled made in Germany or Portugal?
A: The Leica 8x42 Noctivid Binoculars (Olive Green) are made in Germany.
Q: 5. Are the green #71332 and black #72322 versions optically the same? They differ in price and external appearance.
A: According to Celestron, yes, the Celestron 8x42 Nature DX Binoculars (Green), MFR # 71332, and the Celestron 8x42 Nature DX Binoculars (Black), MFR # 72322, would be identical optically; they would have the same optical performance and optical quality. It is only the exterior/housing that varies.
Q: 6. Is it best (why?) for birding than the Leica 40094 Ultravid 10 x 42 HD Plus ?
A: In the Ultravid HD PLUS line, for its size (smallest premium full-size bins available) and massive field of view, the 8x32 or for its brightness and again, massive field of view, the 7x42 would be the best choices. For the absolute best optics available, the Noctivid 8x42 would be the best choice. 10x is generally considered too much power for birding. If you have to have 10x42, the Noctivid would be the best choice as it has the best optics (best sharpness, contrast, resolution and color rendition) of any 10x42 on the market.
Q: 7. Thanks for the prompt response. When compared to the Vanguard Spirit xf 8x42 (which has 7.8⁰ of field of vision) would this product (with 6.3⁰ field of vision) have an upper hand just due to the good optics?
A: Yes it would.
Q: 8. Does this come with straps? Does it come with eyepiece and objective covers?
A: Yes, the 8x42 TrailSeeker ED Binocular comes with a neck strap, eyepiece and objective lens covers.
Q: 9. Does the Celestron Trailseeker ED come with a carrying case?
A: Yes it does. In the Box Celestron 8x42 TrailSeeker ED Binoculars Carrying Case ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Harness Neck Strap Lens Cloth Ocular Rainguard 2 x Objective Caps Limited Lifetime Warranty
Q: 10. How good is the field of vision for bird watching?
A: The Angle of View 6.3° (Actual) Field of View 330' @ 1000 yd / 109.56 m @ 1000 m Which is above avarage for an 8X binocular
