Offered here in a combination of magnification and objective lens size that is favored by hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts around the world for their versatility, the Meopta 8x42 MeoStar B1 Plus Binoculars provide a superior viewing experience by combining well-engineered optics and a wide field of view in a lightweight and durable housing.

The compact Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms deliver vivid true-color images that are bright and crisp across the entire field of view with limited internal light loss or diffraction. Its objective lenses are treated with proprietary anti-reflection MeoBright multicoatings to maximize light transmission, and are further treated with Meopta's proprietary MeoShield and MeoDrop exterior coatings that protect the lens surfaces from scratches and makes cleaning oils and other contaminants easy without leaving residue. These coatings ensure the lenses stay free from imperfections that can interfere with your glassing experience and let you immerse yourself in the view. When taken together the prisms and coatings produce bright and crisp high-contrast views with accurate color representation and sharp resolution.

Meopta designed the binoculars with ergonomics in mind to minimize user fatigue during long observations. Its large center focusing wheel is easy to use with either hand and a locking dioptric correction dial, located on the focusing knob, ensures precise focusing even if you normally wear corrective eyeglasses. The housing is made from a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy that is center weighted by the prism design, so they sit comfortably in the hand. Protective rubber armor wraps the body and provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet conditions. The housing is nitrogen filled and sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme conditions.
