Key Features

• High-Definition Optical System
• Reflective-Coated Roof Prisms
• Kite MHR Fully Multicoated Optics
• Wide 69° Apparent Angle of View
• Large Center Focusing Knob
• Nitrogen-Filled, Fog and Waterproof
• Water, Dirt, and Scratch Resistant
• Removable Twist-up Aluminum Eyecups

The 8x optical system shows a beautiful view of that life-list bird or famous landmark, but prevents some of the shakiness inherent in more powerful optics. The fully multicoated 42mm lenses transmit as much as 90 percent of available light for a clear image, allowing quick observation of even off-center elements of the view. Minimum focus is less than 7 feet, so you can train the high-quality optics on a close-by flower or insect, while the field of view is a sprawling 453 feet so you can see the big picture.
