The Olympus 10x42 Pro Binoculars are designed with a magnification-objective lens configuration.
The Olympus 10x42 Pro Binoculars feature extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, all with phase-correcting and dielectric coating on the BAK4 prisms. Furthermore, these optics features anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics.
This is to produce bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate colours and enhanced clarity without distortion, ghosting, or fringing.
The Olympus 10x42 Pro Binoculars also feature a waterproof and fog-proof construction. Oil- and water-repellent coating applied to the objective lens and eyepieces allows smudges like fingerprints to be easily wiped.
Optical Performance
- 10x power magnifies view without sacrificing field of view or exit pupil
- 42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability versus smaller objectives while helping to maintain a compact form factor
- A compact roof prism light path ensures a slim profile without sacrificing performance
- BAK4 prism glass delivers a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
- Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements produce bright and clear images with accurate colour rendition and improved contrast, without fringing
- Multi-layer phase-correcting and dielectric mirror prism coatings eliminate internal interference, light loss, and diffraction to improve clarity, resolution, and contrast
- Anti-reflection multi-coated optics maximize light transmission to ensure bright and clear images with accurate colours and improved contrast and clarity—without ghosting or flares
- Oil- and water-repellent exterior lens coatings make it easy to clean dew, rain, fingerprints, sap, and other materials off the lenses, without streaks or smudges, to ensure clear views
- A short 5-foot close-focus distance allows detailed viewing of small birds, butterflies, and insects at feeders and flowers
- A wide 62° apparent angle of view presents a spacious field of view to more easily find and track subjects
- Generous 394' field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- Closed-bridge configuration offers a solid and stable platform for the focusing system
- Large, slip-resistant centre focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions or when wearing gloves
- ±2 right- and left-eye dioptric correction allows for precise focusing even for those who typically require corrective eyewear
- Twist-up click-stop rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- Tripod mountable with optional adapters for hands-free usage to reduce arm fatigue and vibrations
- Long 16mm eye relief increases comfort and reduces eyestrain for easier viewing, especially during long glassing sessions
- Wide 4.2mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open and dilate in low light to keep the entire scene in view at all times
